Untitled is a 1917 watercolor by Georgia O'Keeffe, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows three big, flat shapes stacked vertically. The top is a red circle with a yellow center, fading to orange. Below it is a deep blue shape with a rough edge, and under that a darker green band. The colors blend softly at the edges, like water stains. The artist used watercolor, letting the paint soak into the paper and layer slowly. The circles and bands feel simple but don’t match anything real—just shapes and colors. Look up watercolor, glazing to see how artists build depth with thin, see-through layers.
