Untitled is a 1967 charcoal by Jorge Demirjian, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a motorcycle tilted sideways on a flat surface. The drawing is loose and quick, with thick black lines and some smudged charcoal. The bike’s handlebars, seat, and wheels are simplified but still look like they’re moving. The artist used shading to give the motorcycle a three-dimensional feel, even though it’s just a sketch. The background is mostly empty, so the bike stands out clearly. If you like this style, check out scumbling.
