From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1916 gouache by Bart van der Leck, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a mix of bold colors and rough shapes. There’s a big blue rectangle on the left, with red and black blocks scattered around. Some areas are smudged or faded, like the light gray background. A small yellow shape sits on the right, and a red diamond is at the bottom. The paint looks thin and watery, almost like it was done quickly. The edges of the shapes are uneven, giving it a sketchy feel. If you like this style, check out gouache to see how artists use it.
Bart van der Leck (26 November 1876 – 13 November 1958) was a Dutch painter, designer, and ceramicist. With Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian he founded the De Stijl art movement.
