Untitled is a 1954 ink by Chimei Hamada, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows twisted, gnarled trees with long, thin branches reaching upward. Their roots tangle in the ground, and the sky above is dark with a few puffy clouds. The whole scene looks rough and uneven, like the trees are struggling to grow. The artist used a mix of dark and light lines to create texture, making the trees look almost like they’re made of bark and shadow. The printing method lets you see the layers where the ink was pressed in differently. This is made using etching, aquatint.
Chimei Hamada (1917–2018) was a Japanese artist, born in Mifune.
