Untitled is a 1948 ink by Gerhard Marcks, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a black-and-white woodcut of a goat standing on a small rock. Its horns curve backward, and its body is striped like a zebra. Behind it, two tall, pointed shapes look like a cave or a doorway. The artist used simple lines to make the shapes stand out sharply. The background has horizontal lines that add texture, making the goat pop even more. Try looking up woodcut to see how this printmaking method works.
Gerhard Marcks was a German artist, known primarily as a sculptor, but who is also known for his drawings, woodcuts, lithographs and ceramics.
