Untitled is a 1920 ink by Walter Helbig, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white scene with sharp, blocky shapes. A group of figures stands under a dark, jagged canopy, some holding what look like poles or staffs. The lines are bold and uneven, giving it a rough, hand-carved feel. The artist used a method where they cut shapes into wood, then inked it to print. This makes the lines look deeply etched, almost like shadows. Want to see more? Check out woodcut to learn how this technique works.
Walter Helbig (1878–1968) was a German artist, born in Falkenstein.
