1924
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1924 ink by Georges Rouault, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a tall figure bending over a smaller, seated person. The background has a distant town and a tower by the water. The lines are bold and dark, with some areas left nearly blank. The artist used a mix of etching and scraping techniques to create this stark contrast. The seated figure looks up, while the standing one leans in, almost like they’re sharing a secret. Next, look up aquatint to see how this printmaking method works.
Georges-Henri Rouault was a French painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, whose work is often associated with Fauvism and Expressionism.
