Untitled is a 1972 ink by Christian Dotremont Pierre Alechinsky, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is mostly black ink on a light background. Two green shapes stand out: one looks like a face with a hat, the other shows two big eyes. The rest is tangled, scribbly lines—some look like words, others like random marks. The green shapes might be faces, but they’re simple and stylized. The rest of the print feels chaotic, like handwritten notes or doodles. It’s not trying to look realistic at all. If you like this wild mix of marks and shapes, check out lithography to see how artists print images this way.
