From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1969 graphite by John Wesley, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a bald head tilted slightly back, with wild, spiky hair and a wide-open mouth like someone laughing hard. The eyes are squeezed shut, and the face looks simple but full of energy. The lines are thick and confident, with a grid of faint pencil marks behind it. The artist used masking tape to hold the paper together, and the whole thing looks like a quick, bold sketch. It’s from 1969, and the title is just *Untitled*—no extra story needed. If you like this style, check out John Wesley.
John Wesley was an English cleric, theologian, and evangelist who was a principal leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism.
