1973
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1973 ink by Larry Rivers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a simple but striking portrait. A face and body are drawn in loose, sketchy lines, almost like a quick doodle. The background is a flat pink, and the figure wears a black tie covered in bright yellow polka dots. The tie’s bold pattern stands out against the rest of the clean, muted shapes. The artist used different techniques—some parts look hand-drawn, others printed—to create this mixed effect. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists print images like this.
Larry Rivers (born Yitzroch Loiza Grossberg; August 17, 1923 – August 14, 2002) was an American painter, musician, filmmaker, and occasional actor.
