Untitled is a 1955 ink by Riccardo Licata, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a black-and-white print filled with tiny, tangled lines. The marks look like they’re all over the place—no clear shapes or figures, just a dense mess of strokes. The texture is uneven, with some areas darker than others, as if the artist scratched or pressed hard in spots. The work feels like it’s made by hand, with visible marks that suggest the artist used tools to carve into a metal plate. The title "Untitled" and the year "1955" are signed in the corner, but nothing else gives it away. If you like this style, look up etching next to see how it’s made.
