Untitled is a 1949 ink by Leona Pierce, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a cat’s face with big, round eyes and a wide, open mouth. Below the cat, there’s a fish lying on its side, almost like it’s falling out. The background is a mix of deep red and rough, textured lines that look like fur or fire. The artist used a tool to carve into wood and then inked it to make the print—this is called woodcut. The edges of the paper are uneven, like it was torn or aged. Look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
Leona Pierce (1921–2002) was an American artist, born in Santa Barbara.
