Untitled is a 1940 ink by Landès Lewitin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a collage of old photos and papers. You see a small figure in dark clothes standing near a bed with a red blanket. The walls are uneven, with patches of blue, yellow, and brown. There’s a lamp with a big round shade, a window with a curtain, and a dresser with a mirror. The artist used real printed images—like ads or photos—and cut them up to make this scene. The colors are faded, and some parts look torn or scratched. Check out how the artist used engraving for the textures in this work.
Landès Lewitin was an American painter and theorist associated with the postwar New York School.
