Untitled is a 1957 ink by André Masson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows lots of black, spiky shapes scattered across a light background. Some look like twisted trees or hands. In the bottom right, a yellow circle holds a small scene with three stick-like figures and a camel. The artist used a rough, sketchy style—almost like scribbles. The yellow circle feels out of place, like a tiny window into another world. Want to see how this was made? Look up lithography.
