Untitled is a 1988 graphite by Miroslaw Balka, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a simple, stick-figure man standing with his hands at his sides. The paper looks burned around the edges, with dark, uneven borders. The drawing is light and rough, almost like a quick note. The burned edges might have been done on purpose—maybe to show something about time or decay. The artist used basic lines, but the damaged paper makes it feel unusual. If you like this style, check out Miroslaw Balka.
