Untitled is a 1943 graphite by Louise Bourgeois, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows three tall, narrow stripes of color stacked vertically. The left stripe is red with tiny specks, the middle one is a pale greenish-blue, and the right is a soft pink. At the bottom center, there’s a single black eye peeking out between the stripes. The lines look drawn with crayon or pencil, and the paper has a slightly uneven edge. The eye is the only clear shape—everything else is just color and lines. The top has a rough, scribbled border with a few marks that look like tiny crosses. If you like this, check out cross-hatching next—it’s a drawing trick that uses layers of lines to create shading.
