Untitled is a 1971 ink by Larry Rivers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows two rough, sketchy drawings of babies on either side of a split paper. One side is mostly pencil on beige paper, the other is a blue-tinted collage with the word "EMMA" printed at the top. A pair of scissors cuts through the middle, connecting the two. The scissors aren’t just a divider—they’re part of the picture, like a bridge between the two sides. The artist mixed drawing with cut-and-pasted paper, making it feel like a puzzle. Look up etching to see how artists like this use acid and metal plates to create prints.
Larry Rivers (born Yitzroch Loiza Grossberg; August 17, 1923 – August 14, 2002) was an American painter, musician, filmmaker, and occasional actor.
