1953
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1953 ink by Albert Gleizes, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks messy on purpose. Big blocks of blue, pink, and red smudge together. You can barely tell there’s a person sitting, but the shapes suggest a body and a chair. The colors bleed into each other, like wet paint. The artist didn’t try to make it look real. Instead, the colors clash and mix in a way that feels more like a mood than a picture. It’s not clear what’s happening—just shapes and colors fighting for space. Look up Albert Gleizes next to see how his other work plays with form and color.
Albert Gleizes was a French artist, theoretician, philosopher, a self-proclaimed founder of Cubism and an influence on the School of Paris.
