Untitled is a 1965 oil by Mira Schendel, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows just a few faint lines on a light background. The marks form a simple shape—two arms with bent elbows, like someone standing with their hands near their chest. The lines are thin and pale, almost disappearing into the paper. The artist used oil paint, then rubbed it off to leave just these ghostly traces. It’s like a sketch that got erased halfway, leaving only a hint of a figure. Look up Mira Schendel next to see more of her work with marks like these.
Mira Schendel (June 7, 1919 – July 24, 1988) was a 20th-century Brazilian contemporary artist.
