Untitled is a 2005 ink by Louise Bourgeois, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a single plant drawn in thick black lines against a light blue background. The leaves are simple shapes, but the lines curve in a way that makes them look alive. The background has a rough, textured look, like watercolor smudged with a brush. The artist used a printmaking method called aquatint, which lets them layer soft blue tones. The black lines were added by hand later, giving the plant a bold, almost sketchy feel. Next, check out Louise Bourgeois to see how she turned everyday objects into art.
