Untitled is a 1924 ink by Maurice de Vlaminck, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene at dusk. A simple bridge crosses the water, connecting two banks. On the right, a white building with dark shutters sits near the shore, while on the left, a lone tree stands tall against a darkening sky. The paint is loose and quick, with bold black lines and soft gray washes. Notice how the artist used simple shapes—just a few strokes—to suggest depth and light. The river looks calm, but the brushwork feels almost restless, like the scene was painted fast. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
