Untitled is a 1933 graphite by Yves Tanguy, depicting Writing, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a tangle of strange shapes on paper—some look like melted rocks, others like floating blobs or twisted bones. This isn’t just a drawing; it’s a letter Tanguy sent to poet Paul Éluard. The shapes feel like a secret code, something personal between friends. The lines are loose but precise, as if he drew them without overthinking. If you like how this feels, look up more work by Yves Tanguy.
Raymond Georges Yves Tanguy (5 January 1900 – 15 January 1955), known as just Yves Tanguy (; French: ), was a French Surrealist painter, known for his abstract landscapes.
