Untitled is a 2005 ink by Kiki Smith, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows a single crow standing on one leg. Its feathers are detailed, and its beak is sharp. Around it, small star shapes float like scattered constellations against a pale background. The artist used three printing methods—etching, drypoint, and aquatint—to create texture and shading. The crow’s stillness makes it feel almost alive, even though it’s just ink on paper. Want to see more prints like this? Check out etching, drypoint, aquatint.
Kiki Smith is a German-born American artist whose work has addressed the themes of sex, birth and regeneration.
