About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1968 drawing by Alex Hay, created with pencil on paper. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Technique & Style

The drawing features dense, irregular pencil marks that form jagged, overlapping shapes. The marks vary in intensity, from faint to slightly darker, but lack sharp definition. The overall effect is one of subtle, nuanced texture.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing's composition is characterized by clusters of lines that do not form a clear or coherent image. The shapes evoke abstract forms, such as broken arrows or scattered fragments, but do not convey a specific meaning or narrative.
