About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 2003 aquatint by South African artist William Kentridge, part of a series of eight prints.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts an old-fashioned typewriter in black and white, with bold, rough lines that give it a handmade appearance. The typewriter's sharp outlines contrast with a soft, ghostly effect achieved through the aquatint technique.
Technique & Style
Kentridge employed aquatint, a printing method that allows for varied ink distribution, creating a sense of both solidity and subtlety in the image. The technique aligns with his broader practice of layering and erasure.
