Untitled is a 1918 ink by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This woodcut painting depicts three figures in a dark, rectangular space. The central figure, wearing a dark dress, holds a watering can and tends to a plant. To the left, a woman with long hair and a dark dress stands, while to the right, a figure in a dark dress with raised arms appears to be speaking. The background is a dark, rectangular shape. The scene is rendered in bold, geometric lines and dark shading, characteristic of the woodcut technique. The figures' facial expressions are simplified, with bold lines and minimal detail. The stark, graphic quality of this woodcut invites comparison with the work of artist Karl Schmidt-Rottluff.
Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (Karl Schmidt until 1905; 1 December 1884 – 10 August 1976) was a German expressionist painter and printmaker; he was one of the four founders of the artist group Die Brücke.
