Untitled is a 1905 watercolor by Henri Edmond Cross, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a loose, brushy scene of a beach with a few people walking. The colors are soft—blues, yellows, and greens—with a big tree in the center that looks almost like a sketch. The sky is pale, and the water is a faint line near the horizon. The artist used watercolor, blending colors in a way that makes everything look light and airy. The people are simple shapes, almost like quick notes rather than detailed figures. If you like this style, look up watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up layers of color.
Henri-Edmond Cross (French: ; 20 May 1856 – 16 May 1910), born Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix (), was a French painter and printmaker.
