Untitled is a 1969 ink by Emerson Woelffer, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a single black shape against a bright blue background. The shape looks like a person standing with their arms at their sides, but it’s rough and uneven, almost like a shadow cut out. The top of the shape has a flat, blocky head with no face or details. The artist used a simple printmaking method to create this. The black shape stands out sharply against the solid blue, making it feel bold and clean. Check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
Emerson Seville Woelffer (July 27, 1914 – February 2, 2003), was an American artist and arts educator.
