Untitled is a 1936 ink by Thomas Hart Benton, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white scene looks chaotic. A group of people are in a dimly lit room with a small window and a stove. One person is kneeling, holding a pan, while another stands nearby with a white flag. A third person is hunched over, looking down. Smoke or steam swirls in the air, and a dog sits quietly in the corner. The artist used bold lines and shading to create a sense of movement and tension. The figures look rough and hurried, almost like they’re caught in the middle of something urgent. This is one of six prints made using lithography.
