Untitled is a 1925 ink by Edgard Tytgat, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a bright, flat-colored scene with bold black outlines. On the left, a group of people carry a banner with a round image of a saint-like figure. To the right, a man stands on a hill, holding a pole, while others tend to sheep or crops below. The sky is a simple blue with wavy lines, and the border has a scalloped edge. The text at the bottom reads *"Invitation au Paradis"* (Invitation to Paradise), hinting at a dreamy or symbolic meaning. The style looks hand-drawn and simple, almost like a storybook illustration. If you like this style, look up woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood.
Edgard Tytgat (28 April 1879 in Brussels – 11 January 1957 in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert) was a Belgian painter. He is also known for illustrating several of Joseph Weterings's works.
