Untitled is a 1922 ink by Max Beckmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man’s face in sharp lines. His hair is short and wavy, his eyes are dark and serious, and his mouth is slightly open. The background is plain, and the whole image is in black and white, with quick, scratchy marks. The artist used a technique called drypoint, where lines are scratched into a metal plate. This creates a rough, textured look that feels urgent and alive. Look up Max Beckmann to see more of his bold, expressive portraits.
Max Carl Friedrich Beckmann (February 12, 1884 – December 27, 1950) was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer.
