Untitled is a 1920 crayon by László Moholy-Nagy, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face in profile, her hair pulled back tightly. She wears a high-necked coat with a textured, almost woven pattern. The lines are loose and quick, like a sketch made fast. The artist used a crayon-like tool on paper, giving it a scratchy, uneven look. The marks aren’t smooth—they feel urgent, like the person was drawn in one go. Look up lithography next to see how this technique works.
László Moholy-Nagy was a Hungarian painter and photographer as well as a professor in the Bauhaus school.
