Untitled is a 1970 charcoal by Richard Artschwager, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two oval shapes side by side. Each one has smooth, curved lines stacked inside, fading from dark to light. The edges blur into the paper, like shadows. The artist used charcoal to create soft, layered tones. The lines don’t quite meet, making the shapes feel slightly off-center. Check out scumbling to see how artists build up texture like this.
Richard Ernst Artschwager (December 26, 1923 – February 9, 2013) was an American painter, illustrator and sculptor. His work has associations with Pop Art, Conceptual art and Minimalism.
