Untitled is a 1942 ink by Fernando López Anaya, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This etching shows a woman holding a child while a large, shaggy animal leans over them. The background has swirling clouds and strange shapes, like tangled vines or waves. The woman’s face is turned away, and the animal’s head is close to hers, almost touching. The rough, textured lines make the scene feel intense and dreamlike. The artist used a technique that adds grainy details, making the shapes pop against the dark background. Look up etching to see how artists create these layered, textured prints.
