Untitled is a 1960 ink by Gerhard Altenbourg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a row of tall, narrow panels with dark backgrounds and faint white lines. Each panel looks like a castle or fortress with small windows and a round emblem at the top. The edges are uneven, almost like they were carved by hand. The artist used a rough method to make the lines—some are wobbly, others smudged. It feels like the image was made quickly, with less focus on perfect details. If you like this style, look up woodcut to see how it’s made.
Gerhard Ströch, better known as Gerhard Altenbourg was an East German painter, sculptor, and poet.
