Untitled is a 1964 watercolor by Marc Vaux, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three flat, colored shapes stacked like steps. The bottom is a wide band of yellow-brown, the middle a thin green strip, and the top a pale yellow. The background is a soft grayish-blue, with no details—just color. The edges are clean and simple, no brushstrokes or texture. The painting looks like it was made by layering watercolor washes, letting the colors blend softly. The simplicity makes it feel calm and quiet, almost like a mood rather than a scene. If you like this style, look up Marc Vaux for more work like this.
A 1964 abstract work by Marc Vaux, this piece combines gouache with collage elements to form a layered composition.
