Untitled is a 1918 watercolor by Max Beckmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a strange, dreamlike scene at night. A red house looms under a dark sky with a big yellow moon and stars. Inside an open window, two people sit at a table, lit by a lamp. Outside, a horse and rider pass by, while a dark figure stands near a tree. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like scribbles. The colors pop—bright reds, deep blues, and stark whites—making everything feel jumbled but alive. Look up Max Beckmann next to see more of his bold, unsettling style.
Max Carl Friedrich Beckmann (February 12, 1884 – December 27, 1950) was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer.
