Untitled is a 1906 watercolor by André Derain, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a loose, colorful scene with quick brushstrokes. A red figure stands mid-jump, arms outstretched, while a white horse and rider gallop below. The background mixes blue sky, green hills, and a dark tree trunk. Sunlight glows yellow in patches, and a dog runs alongside the horse. The artist used bold colors and rough edges to show movement and energy. The paint looks wet and fresh, almost like a sketch. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint.
