Untitled is a 1999 ink by Neil Farber, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows three figures standing in front of a bright yellow fire. To the left is a black wolf-like creature, in the middle is a flame with a face, and to the right is a person in a suit. Above them, hundreds of small, colorful butterflies float in a swirling cloud. The butterflies are all different colors—red, blue, yellow, pink—making the scene feel lively despite the fire’s strange face. The artist used simple lines and bold colors to create a mix of the eerie and the cheerful. Next, check out Neil Farber to see more of his playful, oddball drawings.
