Untitled is a 1950 ink by Kurt Seligmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This etching and aquatint piece shows a large, abstract shape that looks like a twisted, fabric-like figure. It has a big, round center and long, curved arms that end in small, round shapes. The background is dark, which makes the light-colored figure stand out. The figure seems to be moving, with its arms curled up and its body twisted. The dark background helps to make the figure look like it's floating or moving in space. The artist, Kurt Seligmann, used etching and aquatint techniques to create this unique piece.
