Untitled is a 1918 paint by Kurt Schwitters, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a mix of rough brown paper, bold red, and black shapes. Some pieces look like torn paper, while others are smooth rectangles. The colors clash but fit together, like a puzzle with no clear picture. The artist glued real printed words and scraps onto the surface—one piece even has text that reads *"Hanseatische"* and *"Schokolade."* It’s messy on purpose, not a mistake. If you like this chaotic style, look up Kurt Schwitters for more work like this.
