Untitled is a 1950 ink by Henry Moore, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two blocky figures sitting close together. Their bodies are made of sharp, angular shapes—like stacked boxes—with simple lines. One person leans slightly toward the other, and both have their feet on the ground. The background is a flat, warm brown color with some faint marks. The artist used a method where ink is pressed onto stone, not paint on canvas. This makes the lines look slightly uneven, like a sketch. Next, look up lithography to see how this printing trick works.
