Untitled is a 1978 ink by León Ferrari, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows three tall plants with wispy, feather-like leaves. The lines are all scratchy and uneven, like they were drawn fast with a sharp tool. The plants stand close together, filling the whole paper. The artist used a method where ink is scraped into metal to make these rough marks. It’s called drypoint, and it leaves a textured, almost fuzzy look. Look up technique: drypoint next to see how it works.
