Untitled is a 2002 graphite by Spencer Sweeney, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a person sitting with their legs bent, wearing a loose shirt and a flower pinned to it. Their face is blurred, and they hold what looks like a small object in one hand. Around them, the background is packed with scribbled lines, shapes, and colors—flames, musical notes, and a rainbow all mix together in a chaotic, loose style. The artist used lots of different tools: paint, pencil, and pen. The lines overlap in places, making some areas look busy and others faint. It’s like a quick, messy idea turned into art.
