Untitled is a 1972 by Romare Bearden, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print is mostly brown and red shapes on a light background. You see two figures—one standing, one kneeling—with rough edges. There’s a horse in the corner, almost hidden. The colors are flat, not very detailed. The artist used a printing method called *collagraph*. It’s like carving into a plate, then pressing paper onto it. The texture shows through the colors.
