Untitled is a 1942 watercolor by André Masson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is all jagged lines and rough shapes. You see tangled figures with big eyes, some floating, some half-formed. The background is a mess of swirls and dark patches. It looks like something drawn fast, then scratched into a plate. The artist used a method called *etching*—ink scraped into a metal plate to make prints. The lines are sharp but uneven, like something drawn in a hurry. Next, look up etching to see how it works.
