Untitled is a 1928 oil by Otto Dix, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a girl holding a doll that looks almost like a tiny person. The girl has a serious face, wearing a textured dress with thick, uneven brushstrokes. The doll has pale skin, a round face, and a dress with ruffles, sitting on her lap. The doll’s hand is raised like it’s waving, but the girl isn’t smiling back. The colors are mostly earthy browns and soft yellows, with the doll’s skin standing out as pale. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
Wilhelm Heinrich Otto Dix was a German painter and printmaker, noted for his ruthless and harshly realistic depictions of German society during the Weimar Republic and the brutality of war.
