Untitled is a 1924 watercolor by Ilya Chashnik, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a flat circle with big, simple shapes. There’s a brown half-moon at the top. Below it, pink and white shapes float around—some look like slices of fruit or maybe boats. The colors are soft and pale, with a few darker brown bits mixed in. The edges are uneven, like it was drawn by hand. The artist used watercolor, which lets colors blend softly. The paper shows through in some spots, giving it a light, almost see-through look. Want to see more like this? Check out watercolor, glazing.
