“Untitled” (Feb 22, 1964) is a rare, foundational study in Chicago Imagism, executed in ink, marker, and colored pencil on sketchbook paper. Predating the historic "Hairy Who" exhibitions, this piece balances intricate, jazz-inflected geometry with the subverted comic-strip pop culture that defined his early legacy.
