Untitled is a 2004 graphite by Marc Brandenburg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a crowd of people in a busy, dimly lit room. The faces are blurred, but one person stands out in the center—wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a striped suit with a bold, swirling design on the chest. The background is filled with other figures, some holding objects, but the focus stays on the person in the middle. The artist used pencil shading to create depth and texture, especially on the suit’s fabric and the faces. The lines are thick in some spots, almost like scribbles, while others are smooth, giving the whole piece a rough yet controlled look. Want to see more work like this? Check out Marc Brandenburg.
