Untitled is a 1941 ink by Robert Riggs, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a group of people in a room, some standing and some lying down. They are all wearing loose clothing, and their bodies are twisted in different directions. The room is dimly lit, with a window on the right side that lets in some light. In the foreground, a woman stands with her arms outstretched, while another woman sits on the floor with her head in her hands. In the background, several people are lying on beds or benches, some of them with their faces covered. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of chaos and disorder. The artist's use of bold lines and dark shadows creates a sense of tension and unease. The painting is a lithograph, which gives it a unique texture and quality.
