Untitled is a 1913 ink by Max Oppenheimer, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows a chaotic, swirling scene with jagged lines and rough shapes. Figures—some human-like, some not—are tangled in movement, as if caught in a storm or struggle. The background has dark, uneven strokes that look like crashing waves or smoke, while the edges of the paper are plain and unmarked. The artist used sharp, uneven lines to create a sense of urgency. The print looks hand-drawn and raw, not polished. The signature in the corner reads "MOPP," which is the artist’s initials. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
