Untitled is a 1960 watercolor by Betye Saar, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a woman standing next to a white unicorn. The woman has a simple face and a curvy body, with dark lines marking her shape. The unicorn has a tall, spiraled horn and a pale, almost ghostly look. Behind them, a dark blue sky with a crescent moon and a faint tree glow. The title *To Catch a Unicorn* is written at the bottom, hinting at a playful twist on the usual unicorn myth. The artist used a mix of etching and watercolor to create the rough, sketchy feel. Check out Betye Saar to see more of her bold, storytelling art.
