Untitled is a 1945 gouache by Carl-Henning Pedersen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a blurry, ghostly figure floating in a pale blue haze. The shape looks like a person, but the face is vague—just a dark oval with no clear features. The background has faint outlines of buildings or trees, barely visible through the watery, smoky colors. The whole thing feels dreamlike, like the figure is dissolving into the air. The artist used soft washes of color, almost like ink bleeding into wet paper. If you like this style, check out more works by Carl-Henning Pedersen.
