1894
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1894 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a busy street scene with a man on horseback in the center. He’s dressed in a white uniform and hat, riding toward a crowd of people. The horse is white, and the rider holds a long stick. The background has more people, some on horses or carriages, and the whole scene is drawn in bold black lines with simple shading. Notice how the artist cuts off the scene with a blank space on the left—it’s like the picture was split in half. The lines are sharp and flat, which makes the scene feel lively but also a little rough around the edges. This style is a great way to explore lithography.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
