Untitled is a 1947 watercolor by Henri Michaux, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two figures from behind, their bodies loose and sketchy. The lines are quick, almost like a hurried drawing. One person’s hair is drawn in tight, swirling strokes, while the other’s back is smooth but slightly blurred. The artist used watercolor and ink, letting the colors bleed softly. The paper shows through in spots, making it look unfinished. Check out watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up color like this.
Henri Michaux (French: ; 24 May 1899 – 19 October 1984) was a Belgian-born French experimental poet, writer and painter.
