Untitled is a 1962 crayon by Robert Indiana, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a wobbly, handwritten letter "A" made of tiny, tangled lines. The lines are all brownish-gold and packed tightly together, almost like a scribbled mess. Inside the "A," there’s a fainter, blurry face peeking out—just eyes and a nose, but it’s hard to make out. The artist used a technique where they rubbed crayon over textured paper to create this scratchy effect. It’s like the drawing was made by dragging lines instead of drawing smooth ones. Check out how the artist Robert Indiana made this with Conté crayon.
