1910
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1910 ink by Christian Rohlfs, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows two figures in a rough, sketchy style. One stands tall, holding what looks like a small bundle or person, while the other kneels, reaching up with open hands. The lines are uneven, almost like they were carved into wood instead of painted. The texture looks like it was made by cutting into wood—dark lines against a light background. That’s how the artist created the whole piece. If you like this style, look up woodcut to see how it works.
Christian Rohlfs (November 22, 1849 - January 8, 1938) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the important representatives of German expressionism.
