Untitled is a 1973 ink by Kyu-Baik Hwang, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a simple drawing of a white cloth hanging on two strings in a field. The cloth is smooth and light, almost glowing against the background. Tall grass grows thick around it, framing the scene like a border. The artist used a technique that scratches lines into a metal plate to create the image. This lets ink fill the grooves, making the lines pop. Look up etching to see how artists use this old-school method to make prints.
