About this work

Subject & Meaning

The print features a complex arrangement of dark lines and shapes against a white background, forming a central, ambiguous form. Rothenberg's use of the horse motif is not evident here, instead, the image resists clear interpretation.

Technique & Style

Executed in lithography, 'Untitled' showcases Rothenberg's expressive use of medium. The dark, textured elements suggest the use of a bold, gestural technique, possibly involving a large brush or tool.
