Untitled is a 1947 ink by Kawanishi Hide, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This room looks like a mix of bold colors and sharp lines. A bright yellow chair sits in the corner, next to a teal dresser with a vase on top. The walls are dark with striped patterns, and a red curtain hangs behind a mirror. A checkered tablecloth covers a small table with more vases and flowers. The furniture has simple, geometric shapes—like the dresser’s flat surfaces and the chair’s straight legs. The artist used flat colors and clean edges, almost like a graphic design. Try looking up woodcut to see how this print was made.
Hide Kawanishi (川西 英, Kawanishi Hide; 9 July 1894 – 20 February 1965) was a Japanese painter. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
