Untitled is a 2009 graphite by Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a person sitting on a ledge or railing, holding a knife. The figure is dark and simple, made with quick pencil and wax strokes. The background is a light, plain color, and the edges of the paper show some wear. The knife looks sharp, and the person’s posture is tense, like they’re waiting. The lines are drawn fast, almost like scribbles, but they still show the shape clearly. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
Sandra Vásquez de la Horra (b. 1967) was a Chilean artist, born in Viña del Mar.
