Untitled is a 1970 ink by Richard Lindner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a bright pink dog standing on its hind legs, licking a yellow-faced man’s ear. The man’s head is mostly flat shapes—yellow for the face, blue for the neck—and his body is just outlines with a few colored patches. In the top left corner, there’s a small sketch of a bird or wing. The dog’s collar has a yellow tag, and the man’s neck has three yellow dots like buttons. The whole thing looks like it was drawn quickly, with bold colors and simple lines.
