About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1966 drawing by Jörg Immendorff, a German artist associated with the Neue Wilde movement, created with felt-tip and ballpoint pens on paper.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing features two simple forms: a row of red triangles on the left and a blue bird on the right, rendered in rough, uneven lines. The bird's body is composed of sharp angles, giving it a puzzle-like appearance.
Technique & Style
Immendorff employed basic drawing tools to achieve a loose, sketchy effect. The use of felt-tip and ballpoint pens allowed for bold, raw lines characteristic of his style and the expressive nature of the Neue Wilde movement.
History & Provenance
The drawing is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection, exemplifying Immendorff's early work before he became an art professor.
