Untitled is a 1920 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a dark, tangled forest at night. The trees loom close, their branches twisted and thick. Two round shapes—maybe moons or eyes—glow faintly through the shadows. The whole scene is drawn with quick, scratchy lines, almost like hurried scribbles. The artist signed it in the corner, but the image feels more like a sketch than a finished work. The darkness and rough lines give it a mysterious, almost eerie mood. Try looking up drypoint to see how this technique works.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
