About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1921 lithograph by Rudolf Grossmann, held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts two figures in a loose, expressive style: one stands with outstretched arms, while the other kneels, reaching upward. The simple, gestural lines and muted color palette of browns and beiges convey a sense of spontaneity.

Technique & Style

The lithograph's direct translation of drawing marks onto paper creates a rough, unpolished effect. The uneven strokes and simplicity of line suggest a rapid, gestural drawing process.
