1970
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1970 ink by Willem de Kooning, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a black-and-white print packed with wild, tangled lines and shapes. You see lots of overlapping figures—some look like people, others like animals or faces—all mixed together in a chaotic swirl. The marks are thick in some spots and fade into scribbles elsewhere, with no clear background or edges. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed onto a flat stone, then rolled onto paper. That’s why the lines feel both sharp and slightly blurry at once. Look up lithography to see how this printing method works.
Willem de Kooning ( də KOO-ning, Dutch: ; April 24, 1904 – March 19, 1997) was a Dutch-American abstract expressionist artist.
