Untitled is a 1926 ink by Rolf Nesch, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a close-up portrait of a person with short dark hair and a neutral expression. They’re wearing a dark jacket over a light shirt with a patterned collar. The background is a plain yellowish color, and the edges of the image are rough, like it was hand-drawn. The painting uses a mix of dark lines and soft shading, giving it a sketchy, almost unfinished look. The artist left some areas blank, like the person’s mouth, which makes it feel more like a quick sketch than a polished drawing. Want to know more?
