Untitled is a 2010 oil by Jorinde Voigt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a half-built city, drawn in quick, messy lines. Buildings rise in gray and black ink, some with rough outlines, others fading into smudges. A blue shape curls at the top like a river or a bridge, while a red streak cuts through the lower right like a road or a burst of color. The paper is mostly white, with only a few areas filled in—most of it feels like a half-finished idea. The artist used different tools: ink for sharp lines, oilstick for the red and blue patches, and pencil for the faintest sketches. It’s like watching someone’s mind map out a place before it’s fully formed. The mix of colors and marks makes it feel alive, even though it’s just lines on paper. If you like this style, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like it.
