1978
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1978 ink by Roland Topor, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This lithograph depicts a man carrying a stack of human heads and a skull on his shoulders. He is dressed in a dark jacket, shorts, and boots, and stands on a dirt surface with a severed head lying nearby. The man's attire and the presence of the severed head suggest a somber and possibly ominous tone. The artist's use of a muted color palette, with shades of brown and gray dominating the scene, adds to the overall sense of gravity and foreboding. The man's posture, with his head bowed and his body weighted down by the burden he carries, conveys a sense of struggle and hardship.
