About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1947 woodcut by Unidentified Lusimond Merelus, held at The Museum of Modern Art.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts a domestic scene: a woman holds a baby on a woven mat, while a man kneels beside her, operating a scale. A framed picture hangs askew on the wall behind them. The scene's symbolism is open to interpretation, with the scale potentially representing themes of fairness or judgment.
Technique & Style
Executed in bold lines and deep shadows, the black-and-white woodcut creates a stark atmosphere. Characteristic of the woodcut technique, the artist achieved dramatic contrasts through the medium's inherent capabilities.
