Untitled is a 1981 charcoal by Nigel Hall, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows three tall, narrow shapes leaning against a light gray background. The lines are thick and dark, almost like charcoal sticks pressed hard onto paper. The shapes look a little wobbly, as if they might tip over. The artist used just black and white, with no color or extra details. The way the lines overlap creates shadows that make the shapes look three-dimensional. Try looking up scumbling to see how artists build up texture like this.
