Untitled is a 1982 ink by Arnulf Rainer, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a tall, narrow print with two bold red shapes. The top is a solid block of red. Below it, a thick, tangled mess of red lines spills downward like a waterfall of brushstrokes. The paper’s edges are plain white, with the artist’s signature in the corner. The red looks like it was scraped or scratched into the paper—messy but controlled. The lines aren’t smooth; they’re rough and uneven, almost like scribbles left behind. This is a drypoint print, so look up *drypoint* next to see how artists use needles to carve into metal plates.
