Untitled is a 1943 ink by Stanley William Hayter, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows two stretched-out shapes that look like bodies tangled together. The lines are messy, almost like scribbles, with thick black marks crisscrossing over light gray areas. One shape has a small circle where a face might be, and the other looks like it’s leaning against something. The artist used a technique where ink is scraped into metal plates to create these rough, textured lines. It’s not a clear picture of people—just a jumble of forms. Try looking up etching to see how this kind of printmaking works.
Stanley William Hayter (27 December 1901 – 4 May 1988) was an English painter and master printmaker associated in the 1930s with surrealism and from 1940 onward with abstract expressionism.
