Untitled is a 1954 ink by Charles Huffman, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows bold red shapes with black lines cutting through them like branches. The background is mostly red, but there’s a blue patch in the top right corner. The edges look rough, like the paper was scraped or torn. The black lines form a tree-like shape, but it’s not realistic—just a rough sketch. The print looks like it was made by pressing wood into ink, then paper. Check out how this was made with the technique: woodcut.
