Untitled is a 1975 ink by Raymond Saunders, depicting Duck, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a textured, layered image made of printed shapes, torn paper, and dark, scratchy marks that look like handwriting or graffiti. Bits of text peek through, but they’re hard to read, like pages ripped from a notebook or newspaper. This print is part of a bigger set of artworks made in 1975 to mark 200 years of American history. Saunders often mixed drawing, printmaking, and collage to question how stories get told — and who gets left out. He used everyday materials to challenge what counts as art. If you want to see more work that mixes words and images in bold, personal ways, look up artist: Raymond Saunders.
Raymond Jennings Saunders (October 28, 1934 – July 19, 2025) was an American visual artist known for his multimedia paintings which often have sociopolitical undertones, and which incorporate assemblage, drawing, collage and found text.
