Untitled is a 1939 gouache by Arthur Dove, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting features a striking composition, with a large, abstract shape dominating the right side of the canvas. The shape is rendered in shades of gray and white, with darker gray accents and subtle hints of yellow. A smaller, darker shape is visible on the left side of the canvas, set against a lighter gray background. The artist's use of gouache and aluminum leaf on paper creates a sense of texture and depth, adding visual interest to the piece. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy, with the abstract shapes seeming to shift and move across the canvas.
