Untitled is a 1914 watercolor by Maurice de Vlaminck, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a few kitchen things—a kettle, a pot, a spoon, and a bowl—all jumbled together. The colors are bold: bright blues, stark blacks, and a touch of pinkish red. The shapes look twisted, like the objects are melting or being pulled apart. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, almost like scribbles. The artist didn’t try to make it look real; instead, the painting feels raw and energetic. If you like this wild style, check out Maurice de Vlaminck.
