Untitled is a 1968 by Norman Catherine, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a wild boar’s head and shoulders in stark black and white. The fur is made of wavy lines, almost like brushstrokes, while the background is a deep, solid black. Small dots and scattered marks suggest dirt or grass around the animal’s hooves. The artist carved this image into linoleum, then printed it—every line is sharp and deliberate. The boar’s eyes are hollow, giving it a quiet, almost mysterious look. Next, check out Norman Catherine.
