1925
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1925 ink by Christian Rohlfs, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a simple but bold drawing of a horse. The lines are thick and dark, almost like they were carved into wood. The horse’s shape is clear but rough, with some parts looking a little uneven. The background is mostly white, with a few brown spots where the ink didn’t cover perfectly. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed into carved wood to make the print. This gives the lines their sharp, uneven edges. It’s not smooth like a painting—it feels more like a stamp or a block print. 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.
