Untitled is a 1952 ink by Leona Pierce, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This woodcut painting features a bird with a white chest and black, red, and yellow feathers, surrounded by leaves. The bird's head is turned to the right, and it has a distinctive red beak. A human face is visible to the right of the bird, with a neutral expression. The bird is positioned in the center of the composition, with the leaves and human face arranged around it. The overall effect is one of balance and harmony, with the natural forms of the bird and leaves complemented by the human face. The artist's use of woodcut technique creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. To learn more about the artist's work, explore the paintings of Leona Pierce.
