Untitled is a 1918 ink by Carry (Carl Maria) Hauser, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This picture is all jagged lines and dark shapes. A crowd of people fills the scene, but their faces are blurry and hard to read. Some stand tall, others bend or reach out. The background looks like a town with buildings and trees, but it’s all twisted and uneven. Light spots break through here and there, like stars or fireworks. The artist used a tool called drypoint to scratch into the surface, leaving deep black lines. This makes the whole image feel rough and urgent, like something carved in a hurry. Look up drypoint next to see how this technique works.
