Untitled is a 1935 ink by Gabriel Fernández Ledesma, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a man in a jester’s costume—hat, checked shirt, and baggy pants—holding a cane and a small object in his other hand. Behind him, a stage is scattered with props: a crown, a mask, and a broken chair. The background is dark with sharp, angular lines that make the scene feel tense. The artist used a woodcut technique, where the image is carved into wood and then printed. This makes the lines look bold and the shadows deep. Check out woodcut to see how this print was made.
Gabriel Fernández Ledesma (May 30, 1900 – August 26, 1983) was a Mexican painter, printmaker, sculptor, graphic artist, writer and teacher.
