Untitled is a 1988 ink by Matthias Mansen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all dark, almost black, with tiny white specks scattered everywhere. The background looks rough and textured, like bark or deep shadows. Two thin white lines run straight down the middle, and a few faint shapes peek through—maybe buildings or trees, but they’re hard to make out. The artist made this using a woodcut, which means they carved the design into wood and stamped it. The messy, uneven look comes from how the ink spread. Check out woodcut to see how this printing technique works.
Matthias Mansen (b. 1958) was a German artist, born in Ravensburg.
