Dominant colour
Untitled is a 1970 ink by Larry Rivers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a close-up of a face with short, wavy hair and serious eyes. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The colors are simple: black ink on white paper, with a colored border inside the frame. The artist used a technique where ink is rolled onto a stone and pressed onto paper. This method lets them play with light and texture in a different way than paint. Check out how this artist worked with lithography.
Larry Rivers (born Yitzroch Loiza Grossberg; August 17, 1923 – August 14, 2002) was an American painter, musician, filmmaker, and occasional actor.
