1904
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1904 ink by Max Slevogt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a dark, crowded street at night. Two men in the foreground struggle—one is shirtless, bent over, while the other holds him up. In the background, more figures huddle in the shadows, their faces blurred. The scene feels tense, almost chaotic, with quick, rough lines. The artist used a technique that scratches into metal plates instead of painting. This makes the lines look sharp and the shadows deep, like a quick sketch that captures movement. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this create texture with ink and metal.
Max Slevogt (8 October 1868 – 20 September 1932) was a German Impressionist painter and illustrator, best known for his landscapes.
