Untitled is a 1969 ink by Antonio Frasconi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a hazy city skyline over choppy water. The buildings are dark and fuzzy, blending into the purple sky. Below, the water is a swirling mix of blues and whites, like rough waves crashing. The artist used a woodcut technique, carving the image into wood and printing it. This makes the lines and textures look grainy and bold. Next, check out how woodcut works—it’s a printmaking method that creates sharp, simple shapes.
