Untitled is a 1916 ink by George Bellows, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a busy riverside park at dusk. Trees line the shore, and a big building looms in the background. People are scattered around—some sitting on the grass, others walking or standing in small groups. A few kids play near the water, while adults chat or relax. The mood feels lively but quiet, like a summer evening. The artist used a rough, sketchy style that makes the scene feel quick and alive. The dark lines and shadows give it a dramatic, almost shadowy look. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
