Untitled is a 1988 watercolor by Norman Catherine, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a dark, cramped room with a bed covered in tangled wires and metal bars. A person lies under a rough blanket, their head wrapped in a scarf. Nearby, a small suitcase and a pan sit on the floor, while a red bottle and a cross hang on the wall. The artist used sharp lines and dark tones to make the scene feel heavy and uneven. The wires and bars add a sense of confinement, while the few bright spots—like the yellow blanket—stand out. This print is part of a series by Norman Catherine.
Norman Catherine (born September 1949 in East London, South Africa) is a South African artist whose body of work spans painting, sculpture, printmaking and mixed media.
