About this work
Overview
Untitled, a 1996 drawing by John Morris, is a non-representational work executed in gray ink on white paper, characterized by a dense, tangled arrangement of swirling lines and circles that eschew clear forms or figures.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing's abstract nature intentionally obscures recognizable subject matter, potentially inviting interpretation that emphasizes the process of mark-making over depictive intent.
Technique & Style
Morris employed repetitive, hand-drawn strokes to build texture, with varying line densities creating contrasts between darker, layered areas and lighter, more sparse regions.
History & Provenance
Created in 1996, the work is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
