Untitled is a 1987 ink by Bill Jensen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is messy and bright. Shapes twist like tangled wires—yellows, blacks, and splashes of red. One hand holds a tool that looks like a wrench or a key. The background is a dark storm of lines and smudges. The artist used a method called *aquatint* to make those soft, grainy tones. It’s like printing with ink and acid, layering up shadows. Check out how *etching* works next.
