Untitled is a 1935 by Leopoldo Méndez, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is all black and white with sharp lines. A crowd of strange faces and hands fills the scene. Some look angry, others scared or confused. In the middle, a big figure holds a sign with words in Spanish. Around them are odd objects like hats, a gun, and a giant eye. The artist used a woodcut method—carving into linoleum to make the print. The mix of faces and symbols feels chaotic, like a protest or rally gone wild. Look up Leopoldo Méndez to see more of his bold, political art.
