Untitled is a 1919 watercolor by Pablo Picasso, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows three figures lying on the ground in bright, uneven colors. The person on the left wears a wide-brimmed hat and a green-and-blue striped skirt. The middle figure is naked, with pale skin and a red, rough-looking cloth wrapped around their head. The person on the right has blue pants and a white shirt, holding the middle figure’s hand. The artist mixed watercolor and pencil to create bold, flat shapes instead of realistic forms. The colors pop against the sandy background, making the scene feel strange and dreamlike. If you like this style, look up Pablo Picasso.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor who spent most of his adult life in France.
