Untitled is a 1933 tempera by Norah Borges de Torre, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows three women indoors. The woman on the left, dressed in a light pink top and skirt, is holding a small white ball and reaching toward the middle figure. The middle woman wears a simple white dress and stands barefoot. The woman on the right is mostly naked, with a pink cloth wrapped around her waist, and has her hand resting on her hip. Notice how the colors are soft and flat, with smooth shapes and no shadows. The background is a plain light blue, keeping focus on the figures. Look up tempera to see how this paint was made.
Leonor Fanny "Norah" Borges Acevedo (March 4, 1901 – July 20, 1998), was an Argentine visual artist and art critic, member of the Florida group, and sister of the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges.
