Untitled is a 1996 ink by Not Vital, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white painting of two animals, possibly dogs or wolves. They are facing each other, their heads tilted back, and their mouths open. The painting is done in a loose, expressive style, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The animals are rendered in dark, gestural marks that suggest their fur and movement. The background of the painting is a clean white, which helps the animals stand out. The overall effect is one of energy and dynamism, as if the animals are about to spring into action. The painting's use of bold, expressive brushstrokes and vivid animal forms recalls the work of artist Not Vital.
