Untitled is a 1923 ink by Oskar Bangemann Lovis Corinth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man’s face in quick, scratchy lines. The strokes are dark and uneven, making the features look rough but clear. His hair is drawn in short, jagged strokes, and his eyes stare straight ahead. The artist used a tool to carve into wood, creating this portrait. The lines are so sharp they almost look like they could be scratched with a pencil. Look up engraving to see how this technique works.
