Untitled is a 1967 ink by José Luis Cuevas, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man in a dark coat, leaning over a counter. His face is squished and exaggerated, with a big nose and wide eyes. He’s holding a sign that says “Mov. Chaventon” in messy, uneven letters, and a small hat sits next to a sad-looking face on the counter. The drawing looks rough and hurried, like it was made fast. The artist used bold lines and shadows to give it a scratchy, almost angry feel. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
