About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1959 charcoal drawing on paper by Georgia O'Keeffe, a prominent figure in American modernism. The work is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts a simplified, abstract form resembling an arm and hand, rendered in bold, curved lines. The lack of details such as fingers or a face emphasizes its abstract nature.
Technique & Style
O'Keeffe employed charcoal to create varying densities of shading, with thicker applications producing darker areas and the paper's texture visible in lighter sections. The resulting image is characterized by large, uncluttered shapes.
