1953
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1953 ink by Pablo Picasso, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows two black silhouettes—one standing, one sitting—against a bright, warm sky. The standing figure leans over the other, who holds a round shape like a shield or a face. Below them, bold white letters spell out "VALL AVRIS EXPOSITION" with the year "1953" and a tiny house icon. The artist used stark black and soft colors to create a simple but striking scene. The round shape the seated figure holds looks like a face or mask, adding a quiet mystery. Want to know more? Check out lithography to see how this print was made.
