Untitled is a 1923 ink by Jean (Hans) Arp, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a simple black shape on a light background. It looks like a blob with two round holes where eyes might be. The shape has a wobbly bottom, like it’s floating or melting. The artist made this in 1923 using a printing method called lithography. It’s one of seven similar images, all made the same way. Look up lithography to see how artists print pictures this way.
Hans Peter Wilhelm Arp, better known as Jean Arp in English, was a German-French sculptor, painter and poet. He was known as a Dadaist and an abstract artist.
