Untitled is a 1919 gouache by Aleksandr Rodchenko, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows bold shapes and bright colors on a light background. There’s a large orange circle with a green ring around it, tilted like it’s falling. Next to it, a red circle sits inside a black rectangle. Thick black lines cut across the scene, and a few small yellow and blue patches add extra energy. The artist used a technique called *gouache*—it’s like paint but thicker and more matte. The colors feel raw, almost like they were slapped on quickly. Look up gouache to see how it’s different from other paints.
Aleksander Mikhailovich Rodchenko (Russian: Александр Михайлович Родченко; 5 December 1891 – 3 December 1956) was a Russian and Soviet artist, sculptor, photographer, and graphic designer.
