About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1956 drawing by José Ygnacio Bermúdez, held at The Museum of Modern Art. It is a mixed-media work combining paper, charcoal, pencil, and tempera.
Technique & Style
The artwork features a collage of torn paper fragments, with rough, uneven edges and textures. Charcoal and tempera are used to create a predominantly dark central form, while pencil marks and paint add to the overall tactile quality.
Subject & Meaning
The central shape, resembling a mask or face, is rendered through flat lines and shading, lacking clear definition. The surrounding paper scraps, in browns and whites, contribute to the work's rough, handmade appearance.
