Untitled is a 1916 oil by Giorgio de Chirico, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a cluttered corner with odd shapes and bright colors. A wooden frame leans against a wall, holding a dark blue curtain with six small, glowing objects behind it—some look like jars or bottles. Nearby, a red cylinder and a greenish rolled-up shape sit on the floor, while a yellow ladder leans against a blue wall. The objects behind the curtain have labels like "COLOR" and "BOTTLE," but they’re painted in a way that makes them look almost magical. The colors are flat and bold, with no soft shading. If you like this strange, dreamy style, look up Giorgio de Chirico.
Giuseppe Maria Alberto Giorgio de Chirico ( KIRR-ik-oh; Italian: ; 10 July 1888 – 20 November 1978) was a Greek-Italian artist and writer born in Volos, Greece.
