About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1999 print by American artist Susan Rothenberg, created using a combination of etching techniques on chine collé.
Subject & Meaning
The print features a loose, sketchy depiction of a horse, with rough, uneven lines and minimal definition, blending into the pale background. The image reflects Rothenberg's exploration of form and her characteristic bridging of abstraction and representation.
Technique & Style
Rothenberg employed etching, aquatint, and sugar-lift aquatint to achieve a grainy texture and varied tonal range, using dark and light marks to suggest shape and leaving some areas sparse. The resulting image is characterized by its rough, expressive quality.
