Untitled is a 1918 ink by Georg Schrimpf, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This woodcut painting shows a black and white image of two nude figures in a jungle setting. The figures are surrounded by palm trees and other foliage, with the woman on the left facing the man on the right. The man is shown from behind, with his head turned to look at the woman. The painting has a bold, graphic style, with thick black lines used to define the figures and the jungle surroundings. The use of black and white creates a sense of contrast and highlights the textures of the figures and the foliage. The painting's bold style and use of black and white are reminiscent of the work of artist Georg Schrimpf.
Georg Schrimpf (13 February 1889 – 19 April 1938) was a German painter and graphic artist.
