Untitled is a 1944 watercolor by Carl-Henning Pedersen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a blurred figure floating above two red, curved shapes that look like boats or sails. The background is a mix of blue, green, and yellow streaks, with a few dark lines that might be waves or shadows. The colors are bright but loose, like quick brushstrokes. The artist used watercolor and ink to keep things soft and dreamy. The boats are the only solid-looking things in the scene, making them stand out.
