Untitled is a 1954 ink by Knut Rumohr, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is full of bold, clashing colors and sharp lines. You see red, yellow, and green shapes stacked unevenly, almost like blocks or fabric. The forms are rough and jagged, with some curved edges that feel a little off-kilter. Black outlines and cross-hatching add texture, making parts of the image look almost three-dimensional. The artist used wood engraving, which means they carved into wood and then printed it. That’s why the lines and patterns have such a crisp, almost scratchy look. Try looking up engraving next to see how this technique works up close.
