From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1910 watercolor by Albert Gleizes, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a wobbly village nestled in rolling hills. The buildings are lopsided and flat, like blocks stacked unevenly, with bright yellows, pinks, and greens. The hills are sketchy, almost like quick scribbles, with patches of blue and brown. A winding road cuts through the scene, but it doesn’t look real—more like a doodle. The artist used loose, fast strokes, almost like they were painting while walking. The colors pop against the rough lines, making it feel alive but unfinished.

Albert Gleizes was a French artist, theoretician, philosopher, a self-proclaimed founder of Cubism and an influence on the School of Paris.
