About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 2007 drawing by Trisha Brown, held at The Museum of Modern Art. It is a charcoal work on paper.

Technique & Style

The drawing features expressive, gestural lines that vary in darkness and thickness. Charcoal's smudgy quality gives some areas a blurry appearance, while other lines remain sharp. The contrast between the dark marks and the largely untouched white paper creates visual tension.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing's subject is ambiguous, with shapes that could be interpreted as limbs or abstract forms. The overall effect is one of spontaneity and energy, as if the drawing was created quickly.
