1920
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1920 ink by František Kupka, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like quick, messy lines on a light background. You see two figures hunched over, their arms raised as if reaching or fighting. One has a long, flowing skirt or cape, while the other’s body is more angular. The lines are rough and uneven, almost like scribbles. The artist used a technique where ink is scratched into a metal plate. This leaves behind dark marks that stand out against the light paper. Next, look up etching to see how it works.
František Kupka (also known as Frank Kupka or François Kupka; 23 September 1871 – 24 June 1957) was a Czech painter and illustrator who moved from realism to abstract art, pioneering Orphism.
