Untitled is a 1928 watercolor by Paul Kelpe, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a mix of bold colors and sharp shapes. You see overlapping circles, squares, and rectangles in bright blues, yellows, reds, and greens. Some parts look like they’re stacked or cut out, with lines and curves that don’t quite match up. The colors are flat, not blended, and the whole thing feels like a puzzle without a clear picture. The artist used cut-and-pasted paper along with watercolor, which makes the shapes look like they’re floating. It’s not trying to show anything real—just colors and forms playing together. If you like this style, look up Paul Kelpe to see more of his work.
