Untitled is a 1949 watercolor by Lyonel Feininger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like quick, loose sketches over watercolor. You see two tall, thin figures standing near a dark, blobby shape on the ground—maybe a dog or a lump of something. The colors are muted: grays, browns, and a few bright spots like a yellow circle and red patches. The lines are uneven, almost like the artist drew fast or with a shaky hand. The paper shows the artist’s signature in the corner, but nothing else gives it away. It feels like a sketch more than a finished work—raw and a little messy. If you like this style, check out Lyonel Feininger.
