1923
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1923 ink by Paul Signac, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a riverbank at dusk. Trees line the shore, their branches jagged against a smoky sky. In the water, a small boat carries a few people, while bigger ships sit farther out. Smoke rises from one ship’s chimney, and the whole scene feels quiet but busy. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and mood. The dark shapes of the trees and boats stand out against the lighter background. Want to see more?
