Untitled is a 1956 by Frederick Edward McWilliam, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a group of tall, skinny figures standing close together. Their bodies are long and narrow, with simple heads on top. The lines inside their bodies look like stacked layers, almost like steps. The whole scene is in black and white, with some lighter shading. The figures all face forward but don’t quite touch each other. Their shapes are very clean and geometric, almost like they’re made from blocks. The artist used a printing method that gives it a rough, textured look. Look up Frederick Edward McWilliam next to see more of his work.
Frederick Edward McWilliam (30 April 1909 – 13 May 1992), was a Northern Irish surrealist sculptor. He worked chiefly in stone, wood and bronze.
