Untitled is a 1958 by Lee Bontecou, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a tangled mess of shapes and lines. Dark, twisted forms fill the space, with a few smooth, round holes breaking up the chaos. The whole thing looks like it’s made of shadows and soot, with no clear colors—just black, gray, and white. The artist used real soot to create this rough, uneven texture. It’s not a smooth drawing but feels more like something scraped or burned into the paper. If you like this style, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more works like it.
