Untitled is a 1959 by Josephie Pootoogook, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a simple, monochromatic scene. In the center, a person is depicted with a short haircut and wearing a black shirt. They hold a long, thin object in their right hand, which could be a knife or a tool. The person is positioned behind a grid-like structure, which is divided into many small squares. The background of the painting is a solid gray color. The painting's style is reminiscent of traditional Inuit art, with bold lines and simple shapes. The use of a single color adds to the sense of simplicity and elegance. The painting's simplicity and use of bold lines make it reminiscent of the work of artist Josephie Pootoogook (ᔭᓴᐱ ᑭᑐᒍ).
Josephie Pootoogook (1887–1958) was an Inuit and Canadian artist.
