Untitled is a 1981 gouache by G. Peter Jemison, depicting cardboard, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a mixed-media work with lots of different materials like gouache, crayon, and cut paper. The title isn't explicitly stated, but the provenance note gives us a sense of the theme: hunger and starvation. This mix of materials and themes makes the work interesting. It's like the artist is combining different things to make a point. Check out the technique used in this painting, specifically the use of gouache, a type of opaque watercolor paint.
