Untitled is a 1966 ink by Pierre Alechinsky, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a wild mix of scribbles and shapes. There’s a big, lumpy figure with a long tail and a flower in its hand, plus smaller, blobby heads floating around. Some areas are dark and smudgy, while others are light and sketchy. A few sections look like they’re framed or torn, and a stick leans against the bottom right corner. The lines are loose and uneven, almost like a quick sketch that didn’t get erased. The colors are mostly browns and blacks, with a few pinkish spots. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists like this make prints.
