Untitled is a 1895 ink by Käthe Kollwitz, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows a group of people walking in a tight line, all bundled up in heavy coats and hats. Their faces are tense, some looking forward, others down or sideways. One person in the center holds a long stick, and another carries a bundle on their back. The background is a simple wall and ground, with no extra details. The rough, scratchy lines make the scene feel urgent and uneven. Kollwitz used this style to show emotion, not just faces. Next, look up etching to see how artists like her made prints like this.
Käthe Kollwitz (German pronunciation: born Schmidt; 8 July 1867 – 22 April 1945) was a German artist who worked with painting, printmaking (including etching, lithography and woodcuts) and sculpture.
