Untitled is a 2012 ink by Richard Tuttle, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece shows a few thin, wobbly lines drawn in brown on a light background. The lines look handmade, like they were scratched or etched in. The paper has a rough edge, and the whole thing feels simple but deliberate. The lines are uneven—some curve, some zigzag, some lean. The artist used a technique where the lines are pressed into the paper, leaving a mark behind. Next, check out drypoint to see how this kind of etching works.
Richard Dean Tuttle (born July 12, 1941) is an American postminimalist artist known for his small, casual, subtle, intimate works.
