Untitled is a 1949 watercolor by Paul Cadmus, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a muscular man sitting on a rock, his legs spread wide. His hands rest on his knees, and his body is turned slightly to the side. The lines are rough and sketchy, with some areas left light and others filled in with darker strokes. The artist used a mix of pencil, watercolor, and a matte wash to create texture. The paper has a warm, peachy tone that makes the figure stand out. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
