Untitled is a 1968 graphite by Öyvind Fahlström, depicting Writing, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see two sheets of paper covered in scribbles, arrows, and tiny handwritten notes in ink and pencil. This looks like a brainstorm—Fahlström was planning a bigger work called *The Little General*. The doodles feel like a map of ideas, not a finished piece. It’s rare to peek at an artist’s rough draft in a museum. If you like how raw this feels, look up cross-hatching—a shading technique where lines crisscross to build up tone.
