Untitled is a 1951 ink by Mark Rothko, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a rough sketch. You see wavy lines and shapes that don’t quite form anything clear. Some look like people or animals, but they’re blurry and hard to tell. The whole thing is in black and white, with light shading. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch into the paper, leaving marks behind. It feels like a quick, messy idea turned into art. Try looking up etching to see how this technique works.
