Untitled is a 1963 oil by Minnie Evans, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting features a fantastical creature with the body of an elephant, the tail of a snake, and the head of a dog, rendered in green with a long, curved tusk. The creature is set against a pink background, with a yellow beach and blue ocean waves visible in the foreground. A red sun rises over the water, casting a warm glow. The creature's unusual appearance and the dreamlike setting create a sense of wonder and enchantment. The artist's use of color and composition draws the viewer's eye to the creature, inviting us to explore its strange and fantastical world.
