Untitled is a 2002 gouache by Amy Sillman, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is split into three loose panels. The first shows quick, colorful sketches of people sitting and standing, some with bold outlines, others blurred. The middle panel has a few figures near a red line and a wall covered in blank rectangles. The last panel draws simple buildings with flat colors and a pale sky. The rectangles in the middle panel look like empty picture frames—maybe a hint at how art fills (or doesn’t fill) space. The whole thing feels like a fast, messy draft, not a polished work. If you like this sketchy, playful style, check out gouache to see how artists use it for loose, watery effects.
