Untitled is a 1951 ink by Carol Summers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a bridge made of sharp white lines against a dark background. The bridge has tall towers with crisscrossing supports, and a small window in the middle looks out over the water below. The edges of the paper are plain white, and the whole thing feels precise and geometric. The artist used a woodcut method, where the design is carved into wood and then inked. This makes the lines look clean and bold. Next, look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
Carol Summers was an American printmaker and educator, known for creating works by woodcut process.
