The artwork “Untitled” by Kara Walker, created in 1996, belongs to the Feminist Art movement and falls under the figurative genre.
The artwork prominently features stark black silhouettes against a white background, creating a strong visual contrast. The silhouettes depict a woman, holding a head, engaging with another person who appears to have a fantastical or exaggerated form, possibly a child with features of a lizard, indicated by the tail. To the right, a small, less distinct figure is visible, seemingly in motion. The use of silhouettes, a characteristic technique of Kara Walker, brings a sense of anonymity yet intense narrative to the scene. With minimalistic yet bold figurative elements, the artwork compels viewers to explore themes and narratives rich in cultural and social commentary.
