Untitled is a 1961 ink by Jacob Landau, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white print of tangled, twisted shapes. The lines are thick and rough, like carved wood. Some parts look like animals, but they’re all mixed together in one messy group. The artist used a mix of woodcut and wood engraving to make it. That means the lines were cut into wood, then inked and pressed onto paper. Look up lithography next to see how it compares to woodcut printing.
