1931
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1931 ink by Leopoldo Méndez, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows workers in a tight space. Some are climbing ladders, others are carrying long beams. Their faces are simple shapes. The background looks like a brick wall with metal bars. The lines are sharp and packed close together. This makes dark shadows and gives the scene a hard, busy feel. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
Leopoldo Méndez (June 30, 1902 – February 8, 1969) was one of Mexico's most important graphic artists and one of that country's most important artists from the 20th century.
