Untitled is a 1939 ink by Louise Bourgeois, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows two blurred figures in a dim, shadowy room. Bright orange and dark blue colors dominate, with a large archway in the background. The walls look uneven, and the figures seem to be holding something small between them. The artist used a woodcut method—carving into wood and adding colors by hand. The rough edges and bold patches make it feel raw and unfinished. Next, look up the technique: woodcut to see how this method works.
