Untitled is a 1913 ink by Henry Ossawa Tanner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a dark, stormy ship at sea. The waves crash around it, and the boat looks like it’s struggling. The sky is heavy, and the artist used quick, scratchy lines to show the wind and water. The print is made using a technique where ink is pushed into grooves carved into a metal plate. This creates the rough, textured look of the waves and sky. Look up etching to see how artists like Tanner made prints like this.
Henry Ossawa Tanner (June 21, 1859 – May 25, 1937) was an American artist who spent much of his career in France.
