Untitled is a 1999 ink by Lisa Yuskavage, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a woman’s back and side profile, her hair up in a loose bun. She’s holding a small bouquet of flowers, standing near a pond. The water is filled with large white blossoms—some floating, some half-open—while dark leaves and stems crowd the edges. The woman’s pose is calm, almost hidden by the flowers. The dark background makes the whites pop, like a spotlight on the petals. If you like this mix of figures and nature, check out how the artist made it using etching, aquatint.
