Untitled is a 1909 watercolor by František Kupka, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a winged figure lying half-buried in a rocky cliff. Below, three small white-winged beings with fish tails reach up toward him. The sky is dark and swirling, while the water at the bottom has wavy lines. The man’s arm is outstretched, and he wears a chain around his neck. The artist signed it in the corner, and the text below reads like a dedication. The mix of human, angel, and mermaid-like figures feels dreamy and strange. If you like this, look up František Kupka for more of his abstract, symbolic work.
František Kupka (also known as Frank Kupka or François Kupka; 23 September 1871 – 24 June 1957) was a Czech painter and illustrator who moved from realism to abstract art, pioneering Orphism.
