Untitled is a 1913 gouache by Georges Braque, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like torn pieces of paper glued together. There’s a dark brown rectangle with tiny printed text, a light tan piece, and a white section with faint pencil lines and a small sketch of a guitar. The shapes don’t line up neatly—they’re stacked at odd angles, like a pile that’s been nudged. The artist used real printed paper, not just paint. The text on the brown piece is too small to read, but it adds texture to the mix of colors and lines. Next, check out gouache to see how this matte paint differs from watercolor or acrylic.
Georges Braque ( BRA(H)K; French: ; 13 May 1882 – 31 August 1963) was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor.
