Untitled is a 1951 ink by Leona Pierce, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a tall, thin figure balancing on a tightrope. The person is dressed in a simple, patterned dress with a belt, and their arms are stretched out for balance. Below them, a row of red-roofed buildings lines the horizon. The artist used bold black lines and left the background mostly blank, making the figure stand out sharply. The buildings at the bottom are drawn quickly, almost like a sketch. Next, look up woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
Leona Pierce (1921–2002) was an American artist, born in Santa Barbara.
