About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 2003 drawing by Jean-Luc Verna, held at The Museum of Modern Art. It is a transfer drawing with colored pencil on two book pages.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts a woman with disheveled hair and smudged makeup, holding a cigarette and pointing. Her face is partially lit, conveying a sense of informality. The image appears to capture a fleeting moment.
Technique & Style
The work was created using a transfer drawing technique, supplemented with colored pencil. The artist's loose and expressive style is evident in the sketchy lines and subtle coloration. The torn edge of the paper and a swirly line near the subject's wrist add to the sense of spontaneity.
History & Provenance
The drawing is mounted on two pages from a book, resulting in a visible seam down the middle. This unusual support reflects the artist's unconventional approach to materials.
