1973
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1973 ink by Corneille, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a tall, skinny figure with a red face and a single big eye at the top of its head. Its arms stretch out like branches, ending in red, striped hands. Below, a smaller head floats in a blue and pink wavy ocean, looking up at the figure. The background mixes green hills, a yellow dotted cliff, and swirling clouds. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to make the scene feel dreamlike. The figure’s arms look like roots or branches, but they’re also hands—maybe a mix of nature and human.
