Untitled is a 1919 ink by Lyonel Feininger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a jagged city skyline with sharp, angular buildings. The lines are bold and black, cutting across a light background. Tiny figures walk along streets, dwarfed by the towering structures. Some buildings lean or twist, breaking from normal shapes. The artist used a woodcut technique—carving into wood and printing the inked parts. This method creates those crisp, solid black lines and flat areas of white. Look up woodcut to see how this printmaking process works.
