Untitled is a 1953 ink by Chimei Hamada, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a dark, dreamy scene with a few bright spots. There’s a wobbly line of tiny buildings on a hill, some with glowing windows. Below, a big wheel and a few scattered shapes—maybe trees or people—stand out against the black background. The whole thing looks like it’s made of smudged ink and light. The artist used a printing method called aquatint, which lets them create soft, grainy textures. It’s almost like looking at a night sky with a few stars and distant lights. Next, check out aquatint to see how this technique works.
Chimei Hamada (1917–2018) was a Japanese artist, born in Mifune.
