Untitled is a 1968 ink by Lee Bontecou, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a strange, spiky flower made of dark shapes. The petals look like metal plates with holes, and the center has a round piece with a cross inside. The stem is thick and rough, almost like bark or twisted wire. The artist used shading to make the shapes pop out against a plain background. It’s not a real flower—it’s more like a mix of nature and something industrial. Check out lithography to see how this print was made.
