Untitled is a 1912 ink by Max Beckmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a crowded street scene at night. People in long coats and hats walk past a building with lit windows. Inside, two nude figures stand near a doorway, while other figures appear in the background. The drawing is loose and quick, with lots of shading. The artist used a scratchy, rough style that feels urgent. The mix of clothed and nude figures creates a jarring contrast. Try looking up lithography to see how this print was made.
Max Carl Friedrich Beckmann (February 12, 1884 – December 27, 1950) was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer.
