Untitled is a 1918 ink by Walter Helbig, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a group of figures in strong black lines against a plain background. One person holds a tall cross, while others stand close, their faces blurred and shadowy. The style is rough and angular, with no soft edges—just sharp shapes and bold contrasts. The year 1918 is marked in the corner, but the scene looks like a religious moment, maybe a crowd around a crucifixion. The artist used woodcut, a printmaking method where blocks of wood are carved and inked. If you like this style, check out woodcut next to see how it works.
Walter Helbig (1878–1968) was a German artist, born in Falkenstein.
