1990
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1990 ink by Franz Gertsch, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a close-up of swirling blue and white shapes. The colors are soft, with light patches that look like they’re made of tiny dots. The lines curve and overlap, creating a textured, almost cloudy effect. The artist used a woodcut technique—carving into wood and printing it. That’s why the details look grainy and repeated. Next, check out woodcut to see how this printing method works.
Franz Gertsch (8 March 1930 – 21 December 2022) was a Swiss painter and printmaker who was known for his large format photorealistic portraits and detailed studies of nature.
