Untitled is a 1970 ink by Pablo Picasso, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is a chaotic mix of faces and figures drawn in scratchy lines. Some heads are huge with exaggerated eyes, others melt into the background. A small scene inside a rectangle shows a group of people, but the rest feels like a crowd of overlapping sketches. The lines are dark and uneven, like quick scribbles. The artist used a mix of thin and thick marks to build up the image, almost like layers of ink. The faces on the right look almost like masks, with big eyes and sharp angles. Try looking up etching to see how artists like this create prints with acid and metal plates.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor who spent most of his adult life in France.
