About this work

Overview

Walt Kuhn's 1920 lithograph, Untitled, is a print held in The Museum of Modern Art's collection. It is a rare example of his work in printmaking, as he is primarily known as a painter.

Subject & Meaning

The lithograph depicts three men in a plain room: one stands in military uniform, holding a cane, while two others sit at a table, engaged in conversation. The simplicity of the scene and lack of background detail focus attention on the figures and their interaction.

Technique & Style

The print is characterized by loose, quick lines and a sketchy style, giving it a rough, unfinished appearance. The unevenness of the lines contributes to the overall sense of spontaneity and informality.

History & Provenance

Kuhn created Untitled in 1920, a year after his involvement in the Armory Show, which introduced European Modernism to American audiences. The print is now part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
