Untitled is a 1972 ink by Phanor Leon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a jagged black shape pressed against a pale gray background. The edges look torn, like paper ripped from a notebook. This print is one of twenty-one made by artists from Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela in 1972. It’s not a painting—it’s a lithograph, meaning the artist drew on a smooth stone with greasy crayon, then used chemicals to transfer the image to paper. The rough texture you see comes from that process, not a brush. To see how other artists used the same method, look up lithography.
