1939
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1939 ink by John Steuart Curry, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a wild-haired man with a thick beard, arms raised like he’s shouting or performing. His face is twisted in what looks like anger or effort, and he’s wearing a loose shirt with a belt. In the background, a faint outline of a ship’s bow is visible, suggesting water or a stormy sky. The artist used quick, rough lines to capture movement and emotion, almost like a sketch turned into a print. The focus is on the man’s face and body language, not the background. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
John Steuart Curry (November 14, 1897 – August 29, 1946) was an American painter whose career spanned the years from 1924 until his death.
