About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1920 lithograph by Edward Wadsworth, held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts two entwined figures on the ground, their elongated and distorted bodies suggesting dynamic movement or struggle. The absence of facial features and clothing emphasizes the overall forms and motion.

Technique & Style

Characterized by bold, dark lines and sketchy marks, the work eschews fine details in favor of capturing movement. The stark contrast between the dense black lines and the smooth, largely empty surrounding paper enhances the visual impact.
