Untitled is a 1971 ink by Leslie Evans Fionnuala Boyd, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows six black-and-white scenes of a flat, empty landscape. A road cuts through the middle of the first and fourth panels, leading toward a few small trees in the distance. The other four panels show the same spot but with a plane flying over it, a shadow on the ground, or a tiny dark figure walking alone. The artist used a mix of sharp lines and soft shading to make the scenes look almost like photos. The plane’s shadow stretches long across the ground in one panel, making the scene feel quiet and still. Look up etching to see how artists like this create detailed prints with acid and metal plates.
