Untitled is a 1946 ink by Georges Braque, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a tangled mess of lines and shapes. A horse and rider are barely recognizable, mixed with stars and wavy marks. The lines are loose and uneven, like scribbles or quick sketches. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a flat stone before pressing it onto paper. This lets for bold black marks with clean edges, even though the image looks rough. Look up lithography to see how this printing trick works.
Georges Braque ( BRA(H)K; French: ; 13 May 1882 – 31 August 1963) was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor.
