Untitled is a 1920 ink by Yasuo Kuniyoshi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows two figures sitting close together at a table. The shapes are simple and flat, with bold colors like blue, red, and black. One figure holds a small object, maybe a cup, while the other leans in slightly. The background is a mix of blocks of color with sharp edges, and the whole scene feels a bit like a stage set. The names "Katherine + Yasuo" are written in the corner, likely the artist and his wife. The style looks hand-carved, not painted, which makes the lines feel rough and textured. Try looking up woodcut to see how this print was made.
