Untitled is a 1987 ink by Larry Rivers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man in old-fashioned clothes with wings like a bird. His coat is yellow with dark buttons, and he’s holding a small dog. The background looks like a cityscape with buildings and a cloudy sky. The artist used loose, sketchy lines—almost like a quick drawing. The man’s face has a friendly, slightly goofy look, and the bird wings make him look both human and mythical. Want to see more? Check out lithography to learn how this print was made.
