Untitled is a 1948 ink by Seong Moy, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a tall, stretched figure with a big head and a small body. The figure’s arms end in sharp lines, and its legs are thin and bent. Around it are odd shapes: a teardrop, a chair, and a small box with a green square inside. The colors are bold—black, yellow, red, and purple—on a brownish background. The artist used a woodcut technique, where the design is carved into wood and then inked. This makes the lines look clean and the colors flat. Look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
