Untitled is a 1983 by Merce Cunningham, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows odd, rounded shapes with tiny circles and squiggles inside them. Some look like buildings with doors or windows, others like abstract blobs. The lines are loose, almost like doodles, and the whole thing feels unfinished. The artist used a felt-tip pen on small sheets of paper, taped together. The drawing doesn’t follow rules—no perspective, no clear subject. It’s more like a quick idea than a finished work. Check out Merce Cunningham to see how he blended art and movement.
Merce Philip Cunningham was an American dancer and choreographer who was at the forefront of American modern dance for more than 50 years.
