Untitled is a 1960 ink by Seymour Rosofsky, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a person standing inside a rough, geometric space. The lines overlap everywhere—arms stretch out like building supports, the body blends with walls, and circles float around like windows or holes. It’s all drawn in quick, scratchy lines, like a half-finished blueprint or a dream you can’t quite place. The figure’s face is blurred, almost erased, while the rest of the body mixes with the architecture. It feels like the person and the room are one confused shape. Next, check out lithography to see how this kind of sketch was made.
