Untitled is a 1965 watercolor by Gladys Nilsson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a crowd of people in bright, flat colors. A woman in pink leans over a child, while others in blue and red stand nearby. The faces and bodies are simple shapes with bold outlines, and the background is a pale blue sky. The artist used watercolor, layering colors to create soft edges and light effects. This technique lets colors blend smoothly, giving the scene a dreamy feel. Look up watercolor, glazing to see how artists build depth with thin, see-through layers.
Gladys M. Nilsson is an American artist, and one of the original Hairy Who Chicago Imagists, a group of representational artists active during the 1960s and 1970s. She is married to fellow-artist and Hairy Who member Jim Nutt.
