From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1923 watercolor by Nikolai Suetin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like flat shapes glued onto a brown background. There’s a big dark rectangle on the left, a white square in the middle, and smaller rectangles in blues, pinks, browns, and reds scattered around. The colors are simple but bold, with no shading or depth—just clean edges. The artist used watercolor and pencil, layering colors to create flat blocks of hue. No shadows or light tricks here—just shapes sitting side by side. If you like this, check out watercolor, glazing next.
Nikolai Suetin was a Russian Suprematist artist. He worked as a graphic artist, a designer, and a ceramics painter.
