About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1914 lithograph by Ludwig Meidner, held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a man with a round face, thick glasses, and unruly hair, his hands raised in a gesture of intensity. The loose, scratchy lines convey a sense of urgency and emotion.

Technique & Style

The lithograph's uneven, raw lines result from the artist's use of a flat stone to transfer ink onto paper, creating an unpolished, spontaneous effect.
