Untitled is a 1977 ink by Les Levine, depicting Firearm, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a black-and-white image of a hand-drawn chart with arrows, circles, and scribbled notes—like a training diagram. This is one of 18 prints Levine made about "The Troubles," the conflict in Northern Ireland. The chart looks official but feels rough, almost like a sketch found in a notebook. It’s not clear what it’s teaching, which makes it unsettling. If you like how this blurs protest and art, look up the technique of etching.
Les Levine is an Irish-born American artist known as a pioneer of video art and as a conceptual artist working with communication media.
