Untitled is a 1973 ink by R. B. Kitaj, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a man wrapped in rope from head to toe, standing against a yellow background. His arms are tied behind him, and he’s barefoot. To the right, there’s a black square with the words "PHOTOGRAPHIE" in bold letters, and below that, the name "Greetings Pablo Ruiz" is printed in black. The rope looks tight, almost like it’s holding him in place. The mix of drawing and printed text gives it a rough, collage-like feel. If you like this style, check out R. B. Kitaj.
