Untitled is a 1989 charcoal by Richard Artschwager, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a simple, empty room with a tiled floor. The tiles are round and raised in the middle, like small domes. Above, a single lightbulb hangs from the ceiling, casting no visible light. The walls are plain, with two small windows showing a faint outdoor view. The artist used only charcoal to create this quiet, almost 3D look. The shading makes the tiles pop slightly off the page, like real textures. Look up scumbling to see how artists create similar effects with soft, blended strokes.
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.
