Untitled is a 1957 ink by Maltby Sykes, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows two tall, black shapes with curved tops, like stretched figures. One has a yellow stripe near the middle, the other a red one at the bottom. A big blue circle floats to the right, and thin white lines crisscross the whole piece, creating light and shadow. The lines aren’t just decoration—they’re part of an old printmaking trick. The artist used tiny grooves to hold ink, making the shapes pop in different tones. Want to see how this works up close? Try looking at *engraving*.
