About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1975 etching with pencil additions by Gregory Masurovsky, held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a chaotic sheet of paper with handwritten notes and sketches in French, featuring names like 'GREGORY' and 'SHIRLEY' in bold. The text is layered with tiny pencil doodles and a small map-like drawing, creating a raw and personal atmosphere.

Technique & Style

Masurovsky combined etching and pencil to achieve a layered, spontaneous effect. The mix of writing and drawing gives the impression of a hurried, unedited thought process.
