Untitled is a 1963 ink by Jun'ichiro Sekino, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows a tangle of thin, jagged lines that look like bare branches or cracks in ice. The lines twist and overlap, filling the whole page without any empty space. Sekino made this in 1963 at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles, where American and Japanese artists worked side by side. The workshop helped bring printmaking back as a serious art form after World War II. To see how other artists used the same technique, look up lithography.
