Untitled is a 1903 ink by Maximilian Kurzweil, held at Museum of Modern Art.
A woman sits on a patterned couch, her back to us. She’s holding a white cloth with yellow designs, maybe a napkin or towel. Her dress is long and loose, and her hair is pulled back. On the floor beside her is a folded blanket or jacket, and a pair of scissors lies open on the couch cushion. The bold outlines and flat colors feel simple but deliberate—this isn’t a sketch. The artist used a woodcut technique, carving the image into wood and printing it. Look up woodcut to see how this printmaking method works.
Maximilian Franz Viktor Zdenko Marie Kurzweil (12 October 1867, Bisenz – 9 May 1916, Vienna) was an Austrian painter and printmaker.
