Untitled is a 1961 ink by Dietmar Lemke, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white landscape filled with jagged, rough lines. The shapes look like hills or cliffs, but they’re drawn in a way that feels uneven and scratchy. Some areas are dark, while others are lighter, almost like shadows and light playing across the scene. The texture comes from the way the lines overlap and press into the paper. It’s not smooth—it looks like the artist used a sharp tool to carve into the surface. Try looking up etching to see how this technique works.
