Untitled is a 1983 ink by Joseph Beuys, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a black rectangular painting with white chalk-like scribbles all over it. Words like "Democrat," "Thin," and "Capital" are scattered across the left side. On the right, there’s a big red text that reads "CREATIVITY = CAPITAL." The right half also has some shapes, like circles and arrows, mixed in with more writing. The words and symbols feel messy but intentional, like a brainstorm or a lecture jotted down fast. The red text stands out sharply against the dark background. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
Joseph Heinrich Beuys ( BOYSS; German: ; 12 May 1921 – 23 January 1986) was a German artist, teacher, performance artist, and art theorist whose work reflected concepts of humanism and sociology.
