Untitled is a 1955 ink by Eldzier Cortor, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a chaotic scene with twisted figures and animals tangled together. The colors are mostly brown and beige, with some stark black outlines. A horse rears up near a fire, and people or creatures seem to be fighting or dancing in the background. The artist used sharp lines and bold shapes to create a sense of movement and unease. The style feels raw and powerful, like something carved directly into the wood. If you like this style, look up woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood blocks.
