Untitled is a 1965 ink by James Francis Gill, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a man’s face in the center. Around his head float four ghostly skulls, all looking down. The man wears a dark suit and tie. The background is plain black, like a curtain. The artist used a scratchy, textured style. It looks like the print was made by drawing on stone, then pressing paper onto it. Want to see how this works? Try looking up lithography.
