Untitled is a 1962 graphite by Merce Cunningham, depicting Writing, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like three loose sheets of notebook paper with quick ink lines and colored pencil. The top sheet has quick typewriting too. It’s not a sketch or a study—just marks on paper. The fun part? It’s by a famous dancer who made art just for fun. He wasn’t a painter, but he doodled like this in spare moments. The colors are light, almost like he didn’t care too much. See it in person at The Museum of Modern Art.
Merce Philip Cunningham was an American dancer and choreographer who was at the forefront of American modern dance for more than 50 years.
