Untitled is a 1996 watercolor by Maria Lassnig, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a hand covering a face, leaving just one eye visible. The lines are loose and quick, like a sketchpad doodle. The background is a flat, bright yellow, while the rest is mostly white. The artist signed it in the corner with the date—April 10, 1996—and the word "Galizianica." That’s not a typo; it’s a nod to her own style of self-portraiture. Want to see more? Check out Maria Lassnig.
Maria Lassnig (8 September 1919 – 6 May 2014) was an Austrian artist known for her painted self-portraits and her theory of "body awareness".
