Untitled is a 2004 graphite by Mark Grotjahn, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows four tall, pointy shapes on a light background. Each shape is packed with tight, colorful lines—reds, blues, yellows, and greens—all pressed together like a burst of fireworks. The lines twist and overlap, making the shapes look almost three-dimensional. The artist used colored pencils to layer these lines, creating a dense, almost electric effect. It’s like the shapes are glowing from within. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
