About this work
Overview
Untitled is a charcoal drawing on paper by Landès Lewitin, created around 1958. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts two tall, angular figures entangled among jagged, tree-like forms. The figures' stiff postures and indistinct faces suggest a sense of tension or struggle against their surroundings.
Technique & Style
Lewitin employed expressive, rough charcoal strokes to build up the forms, creating a textured, almost scratched appearance. The dark lines against the light paper emphasize the figures' angularity and the surrounding environment's jaggedness.
