Untitled is a 1903 ink by Wassily Kandinsky, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This woodcut shows a woman in a bright yellow polka-dotted dress and a purple skirt. She’s holding a long white cloth over her head, and her red shoes peek out from under a flowing purple scarf. In the background, there’s a simple village with buildings and a rider on a horse. The bold colors and simple shapes stand out against the dark background. The artist used sharp lines to make the scene feel dynamic, even though it’s a woodcut. Look up woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
