1942

From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1942 graphite by Peter Blume, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two twisted, blobby figures tangled together. Their shapes are rough and uneven, like they were drawn fast. One looks like it’s holding the other up, but they both seem stuck. The artist signed it “Kay and Yves” in the corner—those might be names of the figures. The paper is plain, and the pencil lines are thick in some spots, thin in others. Look up stippling next to see how artists use dots to build up shapes.
Peter Blume was an American painter and sculptor. His work contained elements of folk art, Precisionism, Parisian Purism, Cubism, and Surrealism.
