Untitled is a 1996 gouache by Jonathan Herder, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a messy, colorful collage. Words and stamps are scribbled everywhere in bright colors. There’s a face of a man in the middle, some old stamps, and lots of handwritten notes. The paper is filled with doodles, arrows, and random phrases. One weird detail: the words don’t make much sense. They’re mixed up with stamps and drawings, like someone was jotting down random thoughts while working. The colors pop—reds, blues, yellows—all over the place. If you like this style, check out gouache next. It’s the paint used here.
