Untitled is a 1917 ink by George Bellows, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows a chaotic scene in a dimly lit room. People are shouting, pointing, and grabbing each other. Some stand, some crouch, and one person in the front looks like they’re falling. The walls are plain, and a few windows let in faint light. The artist used a rough, sketchy style that makes the scene feel urgent. The way people’s faces are blurred adds to the sense of movement. Next, check out how this work was made using lithography.
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.
