Untitled is a 1963 graphite by Sylvano Bussotti, depicting sheet music, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print looks like jagged lines on a flat gray field. They bunch up like tangled wire, with small pencil marks adding texture. You can almost feel the pressure of the hand that made it. The artist, Sylvano Bussotti, worked in the 1960s. He mixed photography with drawing in ways that feel playful and sharp at once. This piece shows how simple tools can create something that hums with energy. Try looking up Sylvano Bussotti next.
