About this work
Overview
Created in 2013 by Brazilian artist Eduardo Berliner, this ink drawing is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art. The work, untitled, presents a densely populated tableau of interlocking figures and creatures rendered in monochrome ink with occasional gray washes.
Subject & Meaning
The composition juxtaposes a dark, spear‑wielding figure with a towering bird and snail on the left, a floating woman in a long dress above a dog and rabbit in the center, and a variety of animal forms—some realistic, others hybrid—on the right. The surreal assemblage suggests a dreamlike narrative where human and animal boundaries blur.
Technique & Style
Executed with loose, sketchy lines in black ink, Berliner adds depth through gray washes and subtle watercolor bleeds that soften edges. The drawing’s fluid mark‑making and ambiguous forms evoke a fantastical, almost mythic visual language without reference to a specific artistic movement.
History & Provenance
Since its creation, the piece has remained in the Museum of Modern Art’s collection, where it is displayed alongside other contemporary works. No additional exhibition history or prior ownership is recorded beyond its acquisition by the museum.
