1952
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Dominant colour
Untitled is a 1952 ink by Pablo Picasso, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a bold black-and-white woodcut. Big, simple shapes dominate: a sun with rays, a face with an eye, and a figure that looks like a person lying down. The words "Exposition" and "Galerie" are written in jagged letters, along with the name "Lavris" and the year "1952." The artist used sharp contrasts—just black ink on white—to make the shapes stand out. The style feels raw and fast, like a sketch turned into print. Check out how this was made with the technique: woodcut.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor who spent most of his adult life in France.
