Untitled is a 1938 watercolor by Fernand Léger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a mix of bold, flat shapes in bright colors. You see a big black form with a white circle inside, like a mask. Around it are red, blue, and yellow patches—some look like half-circles or stretched-out blobs. The edges are clean, no shading, and the whole thing sits on a light, textured background. The colors pop against each other, almost like a puzzle. The white circle inside the black shape stands out the most—it’s the only pure white here. If you like this style, look up Fernand Léger.
