Untitled is a 1999 watercolor by Elizabeth Murray, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a squishy, colorful blob with arms and legs. The main shape is bright red-orange with a big eye and a small mouth. Its arms and legs are long, wavy lines in green, blue, and yellow, with pink circles at the ends. Inside the blob are small, flat shapes—like little houses or boxes—that peek out from the curves. The artist made this by cutting and raising paper, then adding crayon and watercolor. The colors pop against the white background, making it feel almost like a 3D shape you could touch. Check out Elizabeth Murray to see more of her playful, mixed-media art.
