Untitled is a 2014 gouache by Amy Sillman, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows bold, uneven lines and shapes in bright colors. There’s a thick black curve in the middle, with blue and white strokes around it. The background is mostly blue and gray, but there’s a pinkish area on the right. The edges feel rough, like the artist worked quickly with pastels. The painting uses soft pastels—chalky sticks of color—layered and smudged for texture. It looks like the artist wasn’t trying to make it perfect, just let the colors and lines play together. If you like this loose, energetic style, check out pastel as a technique.
