Untitled is a 1961 ink by Raymond Parker, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a big, loose scribble of bright red and blue shapes on white paper. The ink looks thick in some spots, thin in others. Parker made this in a print shop where artists could test new ideas without the pressure of a finished painting. The marks feel quick, like he was thinking out loud on paper. If you like how this feels, try looking up lithography.
