Untitled is a 1936 ink by Charles Locke, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a busy dock at dusk. A group of people unloads a boat piled with fish, while other boats float nearby. Behind them, a city skyline looms with tall buildings and a church steeple. The artist used shading to show light fading over the water and buildings. The focus is on the workers’ hands-on labor, not the grand cityscape. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
