1977
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1977 ink by Pierre Alechinsky, depicting Wind Wave, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see black ink swirling across white paper—thick, looping lines that look like they were made in one fast, messy burst. Alechinsky drew this at night, working by lamplight. The title hints at keeping watch, as if the marks are thoughts that won’t sleep. The edges are uneven, like the paper couldn’t hold all the energy. If you like this restless feel, look up lithography to see how ink and stone can make lines this alive.
