Untitled is a 1978 charcoal by Willem de Kooning, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a few rough, tangled figures in charcoal. The lines are fast and uneven, like quick scribbles. Some shapes look like people, but they’re hard to tell apart—they blend into the background. The paper is mostly white, with dark smudges and sharp strokes everywhere. The artist left the signature in the corner, but the drawing feels unfinished on purpose. It’s all movement and no clear focus, like something caught mid-thought. If you like this style, look up scumbling next.
Willem de Kooning ( də KOO-ning, Dutch: ; April 24, 1904 – March 19, 1997) was a Dutch-American abstract expressionist artist.
