Untitled is a 2002 watercolor by Erwin Pfrang, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two blocky, colorful figures sitting close together. Their faces are simple shapes with bold outlines—big eyes, small noses, and wide mouths. One figure has a yellowish-brown body, the other a mix of blues and purples. Their clothes look like rough patches of fabric, and the background is a swirl of messy, layered colors. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like scribbles. The colors blend but don’t quite mix smoothly, giving it a rough, textured look. Try searching for *watercolor glazing* to see how artists build up layers like this.
