Untitled is a 1967 ink by Rudolf Schoofs, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a side view of a head with a strange, smooth shape. The face looks almost like a mask—no eyes, just a few dots where they might be. The hair is messy, and the background has a faint outline of a tree or bush. The colors are mostly gray and brown, with some light yellow in the paper. The artist signed it in the top corner, but the face feels more like a puzzle than a portrait. The lines are simple, almost like a sketch, but the effect is oddly strong. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it’s made.
