Untitled is a 1966 watercolor by Bruce Nauman, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is mostly gray and white. You see a tall, narrow vertical shape in the middle, like a window or door, but it’s just a pale green rectangle. The rest is soft, smudgy washes of color—no sharp lines, just blended edges. The paper looks crumpled, with some pencil marks peeking through. The artist left the whole thing a little messy, like a sketch that wasn’t finished. The colors are thin and see-through, almost seeable. Try looking up *watercolor, glazing* to see how artists build up color like this.
Bruce Nauman (born December 6, 1941) is an American artist. His practice spans a broad range of media including sculpture, photography, neon, video, drawing, printmaking, and performance. Nauman lives near Galisteo, New Mexico.
