Untitled is a 1983 graphite by Richard Long, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting features a map with a prominent blue river running through it, surrounded by brown and green areas. The map is overlaid with text and symbols, adding to its visual interest. The map's details are intricate, with various markings and labels that suggest it is a topographical map. The use of colored pencils and press type on paper adds a tactile quality to the piece. To learn more about the artist's use of maps in his work, explore the technique of cross-hatching.
