About this work
Overview
Created in 1932, this untitled lithograph by Max Weber is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Executed in the print medium of lithography, the work presents a solitary figure rendered in loose, sketch‑like lines against an unadorned white ground.
Subject & Meaning
The image depicts a lone individual seen in profile, clothed in a high‑collared shirt and a headscarf. The figure’s face is turned slightly away, suggesting introspection or anonymity, while the stark background emphasizes the isolated presence of the subject.
Technique & Style
Weber employed the lithographic process, drawing directly onto a flat stone or metal plate with greasy media. This method yields marks that resemble pencil or charcoal, allowing the quick, gestural strokes and uneven textures evident in the work.
History & Provenance
The print was produced during Weber’s early mature period and entered the Museum of Modern Art’s collection, where it remains on view. Its acquisition reflects MoMA’s commitment to documenting the development of American modernist printmaking.
