Untitled is a 1964 ink by Rufino Tamayo, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two tall, skinny figures with oversized heads. One has a purple hat and a red arm raised like it’s holding a stick. The other wears a yellow-and-red striped outfit with a violin tucked under its arm. Their faces are simple black dots and lines, and the background is dark with faint shapes. The artist used bold colors—purple, yellow, and red—to make the figures stand out. Their bodies look stretched and a bit off, like they’re not quite real. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
