Composition is a 1921 by Jacoba van Heemskerck van Beest, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows only black shapes on a light background. The lines are jagged and uneven, forming no clear objects—just tangled, wavy forms. The edges are sharp, with no soft blending. The artist used a linocut, which means they carved the design into linoleum and stamped it. This method creates bold, flat areas of black and white.
