Untitled is a 1946 ink by Jean Fautrier, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows two blurred, ghostly faces pressed close together against a dark background. The lines are scratchy and uneven, like they were drawn quickly or with a rough tool. Tiny dots and specks fill the space around them, making the faces look fuzzy and hard to read. The faces don’t have clear features—just shapes and shadows. It’s like looking at a memory that’s faded over time. The paper around the print is plain and light, which makes the dark square of the artwork stand out even more. If you like this style, try looking up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
Jean Fautrier (French pronunciation: ; May 16, 1898 – July 21, 1964) was a French painter, illustrator, printmaker, and sculptor. He was one of the most important practitioners of Tachisme.
