Untitled is a 1924 gouache by Oskar Schlemmer, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a black-and-white gouache and ink piece with cut-and-pasted gelatin silver prints on black paper. It features a stylized figure with a long, pointed head and body, wearing a dress with a cone-shaped skirt. The figure has a large, round head with a smaller, rounder head on top, and its arms are outstretched. In the background, there are geometric shapes and lines, including a grid pattern on the floor. A small, round table with a lamp on it is visible in the upper left corner. The overall effect is one of modernity and abstraction. The artist's use of bold lines and geometric shapes creates a sense of dynamism and energy. To learn more about this style, look up the artist Oskar Schlemmer.
Oskar Schlemmer (German pronunciation: ; 4 September 1888 – 13 April 1943) was a German painter, sculptor, designer and choreographer associated with the Bauhaus school.
