Untitled is a 1920 gouache by Moriz Melzer, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This poster is mostly red with white text. The words are big and blocky, stacked unevenly. Some letters are bold, others slanted. The text reads like an announcement in German, with phrases like "Künstler Fest" and "November Gruppe." The rough edges of the letters and the faded red background make it look handmade. The words suggest an event for artists in November, but the exact details are hard to read. Next, look up gouache to see how this soft, matte paint differs from others.
Moriz Melzer (1877–1966) was a German artist, born in Bělá u Jevíčka.
