Untitled is a 1905 ink by Paul Klee, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a tall, winged figure standing on a small base. The figure has broad wings, a hat, and a bare chest, holding a tool or wand in one hand. The lines are sharp and simple, with some shading on the body and wings. The artist used a mix of etching and drypoint—two techniques that create fine, precise lines. The drawing looks like a sketch but has a lot of detail in the wings and the figure’s stance. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how these methods work.
