Untitled is a 1993 graphite by Peter Cain, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows the back corner of a car trunk. The lines are clean and sharp, focusing on the car’s smooth curves and the folded-down edge of the trunk lid. A small taillight and a chrome handle are the only details that stand out. The artist used pencil shading to create depth without color. The car looks empty and quiet, like it’s parked in a garage.
