Untitled is a 1947 ink by Ivan LeLorraine Albright, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white image shows a hunched, wrinkled figure sitting in a dim room. The person’s hands clutch a small birdcage with a chicken inside. Around them are ornate vases, a messy table, and a chair with a tattered curtain. The background looks like a cluttered, shadowy space with a window or door barely visible. The artist used sharp lines and heavy shading to make the scene feel heavy and strange. The birdcage and chicken stand out as odd details in this otherwise dark and tangled space. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
