Untitled is a 1968 ink by Barbara Jones-Hogu, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white woodcut of a human skeleton standing upright. The skeleton’s ribs are clearly visible, and its head is tilted slightly forward. Behind it, wavy lines and star shapes fill the background, giving it a dreamlike or surreal feel. The artist used sharp contrasts between light and dark to make the skeleton stand out. The stars in the background look like they’re floating, adding a sense of movement. If you like this style, check out more about woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood.
Barbara Jones-Hogu (1938–2017) was an American artist.
