1914

From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1914 gouache by Pablo Picasso, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows simple shapes cut from paper—boxes, a chair, and a bottle—arranged in a messy pile. The colors are flat and dull: browns, grays, and a little black. Some words are stuck on the boxes, like "REUM," and there’s a small black circle with a line through it. The artist used scissors and glue to build this picture, not brushes. It looks like everyday junk, but it’s all carefully placed. Try looking up gouache next to see how this paint works.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor who spent most of his adult life in France.
