Untitled is a 1924 gouache by Farkas Molnár, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows bold black letters—an "M" and an "A"—floating inside a tilted red square. A long black rectangle cuts diagonally from the bottom right, like a stage prop. The background is plain white, and the whole thing feels like a simple stage set. The title is written in tiny letters at the bottom: *"AKTIVISTA FOLYOIRAT."* It’s not clear what it means, but it’s part of the puzzle. The clean lines and bright colors make it look like something from a play or a poster. If you like this style, check out gouache to see how artists use it for sharp, flat colors.
