Untitled 24 

Edvard Munch created this untitled drawing using colored pencils on paper. The marks, a series of hatched lines, remain raw and unblended, as if quickly jotted down. The choice of colored pencils democratizes art-making. Unlike oil paints that require extensive preparation, these are tools accessible to anyone, blurring the line between high art and everyday expression. The paper's surface becomes a field for experimenting with color and form in an immediate way, and the process involves a direct physical engagement. By emphasizing the simplicity of the materials and the directness of the making process, Munch invites us to reconsider the value we place on labor-intensive art forms. This piece isn't about skillful illusionism, but about the artist's immediate experience, making it a powerful statement on the nature of art itself.
