About this work

Overview

Untitled is a lithograph by Rupert D. Turnbull, created in 1937, and is part of a portfolio of thirty-one prints. It is held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print features two abstract, blob-like forms intertwined with black lines, set against a densely hatched background that creates a textured appearance. The non-representational forms resemble squiggles and shadows rather than recognizable objects.

Technique & Style

The artwork was produced using lithography, a printmaking technique where the image is drawn directly onto a smooth stone or metal plate. This process allowed Turnbull to create a detailed, high-contrast image with intricate hatching.
