Untitled is a 1947 silver by Dorothy Hood, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a woman's face, with her eyes closed and her head tilted back. She has dark hair and is wearing a dark top. The background is light-colored, with some darker shapes and lines visible. The woman's face is the main focus of the painting, and her expression is calm and serene. The dark shapes and lines in the background add depth and texture to the painting. The painting is a photographically processed silver image on paper, created by Dorothy Hood in 1947. To learn more about similar techniques, look up the term "chiaroscuro".
Dorothy Hood (August 22, 1918 – October 28, 2000) was an American painter in the Modernist tradition.
