Untitled is a 2001 paint by Lara Schnitger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This picture looks like a collage. A woman’s face is cut out and placed over a map. Her hair is white, her skin is pale, and her lips are red. She wears a blue and green outfit with flowers on it. The map shows rivers and roads, but it’s faded under her. The mix of map and face feels strange. The artist used real paper—maps, fabric, maybe old prints—to build this image. The colors are bright but soft, like old photos. Want to see more? Check out Lara Schnitger.
