Untitled is a 1968 by Samella Lewis, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows six people sitting in a line under a night sky. A big, bright moon hangs above them. The figures are simple shapes with bold outlines—some wear hats, others hold objects like bags or tools. The background looks like trees or bushes, but it’s mostly dark. The artist used a woodcut-like style, carving lines into linoleum to make the print. The stark contrasts between light and dark shapes give it a strong, graphic look. Check out linoleum cut to see how this printmaking technique works.
