Untitled is a 1970 ink by T.C. Cannon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows a man with a long beard and a wide-brimmed hat. The hat has two stars on it, and he’s wearing a shirt with five circular buttons down the front. The background looks like a mix of wavy lines and sharp rays, almost like a sunburst or wind. The artist used a woodcut technique, which means they carved the design into wood and then printed it. The bold lines and simple shapes make the face stand out clearly. Check out more about woodcut to see how this printing method works.
