Untitled is a 1951 ink by Gerhard Marcks, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a simple black-and-white scene of two figures in a room. One person is dancing with arms raised, wearing a long dress with a patterned shawl. The other sits on a chair, playing a guitar. The background has a striped wall and a wooden chair in the corner. The word "Flamenco" is written across the dancer’s shawl, hinting at the style of music and movement. The artist used a printing method that carves images into wood. Look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
Gerhard Marcks was a German artist, known primarily as a sculptor, but who is also known for his drawings, woodcuts, lithographs and ceramics.
