About this work
Overview
Frédéric Bruly Bouabré's 'Untitled' is a 1991 drawing executed in colored pencil, pencil, and ballpoint pen on board. It is held at The Museum of Modern Art.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing features a simple triangular shape within a square, surrounded by a border of scribbled text and symbols in French. The text, though initially nonsensical, is integral to the work. A numerical label, '772', is centered at the bottom.
Technique & Style
The work's informal, sketch-like quality is evident in its rough border and the contrast between the simple central shape and the messy surrounding text. The pale pinkish background and black scribbles add to the drawing's raw, personal feel.
