Untitled is a 1972 graphite by Joseph Piccillo, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a man in a suit, hat, and glasses. His jacket is light gray, and he’s wearing a vest, tie, and rolled-up pants. The hat sits low over his forehead, and his shoes are simple and dark. The artist used tiny dots and lines to build up the shading, giving the drawing texture. It looks like the man’s clothes are made of fabric you could almost feel. Check out stippling to see how artists create depth with dots.
