Untitled is a 1933 by Ida O'Keeffe, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a dark, smudgy print on paper—soft black ink spread like smoke, with faint white streaks cutting through it. Ida O’Keeffe made this in one try, pressing paper onto an inked plate. Most prints are crisp, but this feels more like a drawing you can’t erase. She was Georgia O’Keeffe’s sister, but she didn’t copy her style. To see how ink can look like breath on glass, look up monotype at The Museum of Modern Art.
