Untitled is a 1922 gouache by Lyubov Popova, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a tall figure made of bold shapes and colors. The body is split into black and red blocks, with blue legs and a black hat perched on top. To the left, the word "АКТЕРА" (actress) is written in big letters, and above the figure, "ПРОЗОДЕЖДА" appears in red and black. The figure stands against a light background, with the number "7" in the corner. The figure looks like a mix of clothing and body parts, almost like a costume. The words suggest this might be about theater or performance. Look up Liubov Popova to see more of her bold, geometric style.
