Untitled is a 1985 ink by Jim Dine, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a single figure from behind, wearing a helmet with a big crest. The body is turned slightly to the side, and the legs are bent at the knees. The background looks rough and textured, like scratched metal or stone. The artist used sharp lines and dark shading to make the figure stand out against the messy background. The helmet’s crest looks almost like a crown or a bird in flight. If you like this style, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
