Untitled is a 1972 watercolor by Eugene Berman, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This figure stands with arms outstretched, wearing a tall hat covered in red, spiky shapes. Its face has a mask-like look with dark glasses, and its body is wrapped in a loose, patterned outfit with red and black details. The hands are oversized, ending in long, thin red gloves that stretch upward like tentacles. The background is a rough, textured blue, almost like a faded sky. The figure’s shoes are simple, but the rest of the outfit looks like it’s made of different scraps stitched together. Look up Eugene Berman to see more of his quirky, exaggerated characters.
Eugène Berman and his brother Leonid Berman were Russian Neo-romantic painters and theater and opera designers.
