Untitled is a 1953 gouache by Joseph Cornell, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a dark blue sky with white dots scattered everywhere. A few thin branches cut across it. On one branch sits a white bird with blue spots. The bird looks simple but stands out. The dots and branches are made of cut paper. The artist used gouache paint for the bird and sky. It’s all glued onto a board. Look up gouache next to see how this paint works.
