Untitled is a 1954 gouache by Kurt Seligmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a chaotic group of odd, twisted figures tangled together. Their shapes are stretched and warped, like something between people and abstract blobs. One figure wears a tall hat, another holds a strange object, and the whole scene feels dreamlike and off-kilter. The artist used a mix of ink, paint, and resin to create this rough, textured look. The lines are scratchy, almost like a quick sketch left unfinished. If you like this wild style, check out more by Kurt Seligmann.
