Untitled is a 1942 watercolor by Max Ernst, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two large, rounded figures standing back-to-back. Between them is a smaller, squat shape with a face and two round spots for eyes. The figures have long, curved arms and legs, and the whole scene is drawn in soft browns and yellows on a peachy background. The artist used crayon on paper, which gives the lines a fuzzy, sketchy look. The figures seem both human and a little strange, like they’re made of clay or dough. Check out Max Ernst for more of his dreamlike, oddball art.
Max Ernst (; German: 2 April 1891 – 1 April 1976) was a German-born painter, sculptor, printmaker, graphic artist, and poet.
