Untitled is a 2004 ink by Kerstin Kartscher, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a rough, inked scene with a dark, blob-like shape hanging in the top right corner. Below it, jagged rocks rise from choppy water, and a small figure stands near the shore. To the left, a cow-like animal is half-submerged, its legs kicking. The colors are mostly black, gray, and a few splashes of green and red near the water’s edge. The artist used thick, layered lines to build up textures—like the rocks and waves—giving everything a scratchy, almost tactile look. It feels less like a drawing and more like something sketched in haste or with deliberate chaos. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
