Untitled is a 1945 ink by Thomas Hart Benton, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet rural scene. In the foreground, a woman kneels by a fence, gathering something from the ground. Behind her, a man rides a horse along a snowy hill dotted with haystacks. Trees and a small church sit in the distance under a cloudy sky. The artist used sharp lines and heavy shading to make the scene feel solid. The haystacks look almost like abstract shapes, but they’re clearly part of a farm.
