Untitled 1966

John Altoon's 1966 "Untitled" is a dynamic ink and wash drawing depicting five figures in a playful, almost chaotic composition. Altoon's loose, expressive lines and use of vibrant colors imbue the figures with a sense of energy and movement. The figures appear to be in a state of flux, their bodies contorted and limbs reaching out in various directions. The artist's unique style, characterized by gestural strokes and a disregard for traditional anatomical proportions, gives this work a whimsical and spontaneous quality.
