V. M. Elin is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art.

V. M. Elin made stark, spare images using letterpress prints in the 1940s. This technique turns ink on paper into flat shapes and crisp lines rather than color fields or painterly texture. Look at Untitled (1941) to see how the blocky forms sit on the page like silent signage. After this letterpress piece, tap the blank verso to see the next in the series.
