Untitled is a 1945 graphite by Pavel Tchelitchew, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a close-up pencil drawing of a man’s face. His hair is thick and wavy, his eyebrows bushy, and his eyes stare straight ahead with a serious look. The paper is slightly yellowed, and the edges are torn. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the face, leaving some areas lighter to show shadows. It’s just pencil on paper—no color, no fancy details. If you like this style, check out the artist Pavel Tchelitchew.
