1927
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1927 ink by Walt Kuhn, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a seated person with a relaxed pose, one arm resting on their knee and the other draped over the back of the chair. The lines are loose and quick, giving a sense of movement and life. The figure’s hair is drawn in soft strokes, and the clothing—or lack of it—is suggested with simple, confident marks. The artist signed it in the corner, and it’s labeled as one of 50 prints. That means this image was made by pressing ink onto stone or metal, then transferring it to paper. Try looking up lithography to see how this sketch was made.
Walter Francis Kuhn (October 27, 1877 – July 13, 1949) was an American painter and an organizer of the famous Armory Show of 1913, which was America's first large-scale introduction to European Modernism.
