Untitled is a 1993 ink by Jonathan Borofsky, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing is all tangled lines and swirls in black ink on white paper. The shapes look like they’re moving—curves twist and overlap, some thick and dark, others faint and fuzzy. There’s no clear subject, just a messy, busy mess of marks that fill the whole page. The lines create a kind of shadowy depth, like layers of scribbles piled on top of each other. It’s hard to tell where one shape starts and another ends—they all blend together. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
Jonathan Borofsky (born December 24, 1942) is an American sculptor and printmaker who lives and works in Ogunquit, Maine.
