Untitled is a 1934 tempera by Oskar Fischinger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all bright, flat colors stacked in squares. Big red borders frame smaller blocks—green, blue, yellow, and orange. The shapes fit together like puzzle pieces, but not perfectly. Some squares overlap or tilt slightly. The artist used a simple tool: tempera paint. It’s thick and matte, not shiny like oils. The colors pop hard against each other, no shadows or blending. Look up tempera next to see how this paint worked.
