Untitled is a 1965 ink by Claire Falkenstein, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a messy, tangled mess of lines and shapes. The whole thing is black and white, with some light gray spots. It looks like roots or vines all squished together—no clear start or end. The artist made this by pressing ink onto a stone, then rolling paper over it. That’s how the lines got so sharp and the texture so rough. Want to see how this works? Check out lithography.
