About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1965 woodcut print by Daniel Zelaya, held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print juxtaposes two distinct scenes: a figure with raised arms within a wooden frame on the left, and a geometric composition featuring crossed sticks and a red circle on the right. The contrast between the two scenes is emphasized by their differing tones and textures.

Technique & Style

The woodcut technique is evident in the rough, carved quality of the lines and the textured gray field. The artist's use of single colors for each shape creates a bold, graphic effect, with the figures and forms standing out sharply against their backgrounds.
