Untitled is a 1985 ink by Pierre Alechinsky, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This small image shows two black-and-white sketches of swirling shapes that look like tangled vines or abstract figures. Below them is a colored stamp with a similar design in red and green, marked with "République Française" and a Paris postmark. The sketches are simple but full of movement, while the stamp adds a pop of color. The sketches and stamp were made by the same hand—likely the artist playing with different styles. The postmark shows it was used in Paris in 1985. If you like this mix of drawing and printing, check out etching.
