About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1953 print by Edward Powis Jones, held at The Museum of Modern Art. It is an etching and aquatint work, rendered in black and white.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a room with two adults and a child. One adult stands holding the child, while the other lies on the floor. A skewed painting hangs on the wall, and a boat is visible outside a window, creating a sense of disjointedness.

Technique & Style
