1893
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1893 ink by Édouard Vuillard, a Impressionism work, depicting Writing, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a dark, smudgy print of a stage set—curtains, a table, and a single chair—all blurred at the edges like a memory. This isn’t just a backdrop. Vuillard made it for a Paris theater production of Ibsen’s *Rosmersholm*, a play about secrets and guilt. The smudges aren’t mistakes; they’re how lithography works, letting ink soak into stone to soften lines. If you like how this feels, look up lithography to see how artists turn grease and stone into art.
Jean-Édouard Vuillard (French: ; 11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker.
