Untitled is a 1993 ink by Karl Schrag, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a dimly lit room at night. A window with open curtains lets in a sliver of moonlight over dark shapes outside. Inside, a chair sits near the window, holding a hat and a pair of shoes. A vase with flowers stands on the floor, and a small table holds a lamp. The artist used bold lines and shadows to create a quiet, almost lonely mood. The lighting suggests it’s late, with just enough glow to hint at what’s outside. If you like this style, check out the technique: lithography to see how it works.
Karl Schrag (December 7, 1912 – December 10, 1995) was an American printmaker and educator. He has been characterized by the National Gallery of Art as "among the most important printmakers in America during the 1950s".
