Untitled is a 1957 gouache by Sonja Sekula, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch is packed into a spiral notebook page. Lines crisscross everywhere—some loose and wobbly, others sharp and straight. A bright yellow streak cuts through the middle like a spotlight. Tiny figures and shapes peek out from the chaos, half-finished. The mix of scribbles, marks, and colors suggests the artist was playing with ideas fast. The paper itself looks worn, like it’s been used a lot. Try looking up gouache to see how this paint works.
