Untitled is a 1921 oil by Florence Henri, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a mix of flat shapes and shadows. You see a big curved form on the left, a wavy rectangle on top, and sharp angles cutting across the middle. Some parts are dark and hollow, while others catch light like foil. The whole thing sits on a rough, textured base. The artist used real foil and paper, cutting and pasting to create this look. The mix of materials makes it feel almost like a collage. Check out Florence Henri to see how she played with light and form in other works.
Florence Henri (28 June 1893 – 24 July 1982) was a surrealist artist; primarily focusing her practice on photography and painting, in addition to pianist composition.
