Untitled is a 1978 pastel by Elena Borstein, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a simple, empty room made of flat white walls and floors. The light comes from the right side, casting soft shadows that make the edges look smooth. There’s a small dark rectangle in one wall—maybe a door or window—and the space feels quiet and clean. The artist used pastels and pencil to create this calm, almost 3D look. The colors are just white, gray, and a little blue from the light, with no extra details. If you like this, check out pastel to see how artists use soft, blendable colors.
