Untitled is a 1926 gouache by Karl-Peter Röhl, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows rows of simple shapes—circles, squares, triangles—some filled in with red, others outlined in black. There are also letters, like "FT," mixed in with the designs. The whole thing looks like it was made by cutting out paper pieces and pasting them onto a background that’s already printed with faint lines. The shapes are arranged neatly, almost like a puzzle or a code. Some sections have labels like "Geometric Forms" or "Combinations," which makes it feel like a study of how shapes work together. If this style of mixing paper and paint interests you, look up gouache next.
