About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 2001 drawing by Chloe Piene, held at The Museum of Modern Art. Created with charcoal on transparentized paper, it presents a figure in a contemplative pose.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts a seated figure with crossed legs, its face reduced to a skull, while hands and clothing remain as soft, rounded forms. This contrast may suggest a tension between mortality and the persistence of human presence.
Technique & Style
Loose, expressive charcoal lines characterize the work, with varying densities creating a range of tonal values. The transparent paper allows the lines to blur, contributing to a ghostly, unfinished appearance.
