Untitled is a 1922 ink by Emil Nolde, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a stormy seascape with rough waves crashing over jagged rocks. The water is dark and choppy, while the sky above is swirling with thick, chaotic lines. A small boat sits half-buried in the foam, looking like it’s struggling against the force of the storm. The artist used only black and white to show the drama of the scene. The texture of the waves and rocks looks almost like it was carved into the paper, not just drawn. Want to see more like this? Try looking up etching.
