Untitled is a 1987 gouache by Hannah Wilke, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a splash of wild colors—reds, greens, blues, and oranges—all mixed and smeared together in a loose, uneven shape. The strokes look quick and messy, like someone dipped their hands in paint and pressed them down randomly. No clear lines or faces appear; it’s just a jumble of bold patches with some white peeking through. The artist used a soft, watery paint called gouache, which lets colors blend but keeps edges fuzzy. It’s not trying to show anything real—just pure color and movement. If you like this style, check out more work by Hannah Wilke.
