Untitled is a 1940 by Paul Klee, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two simple black shapes on a light background. One looks like a tall, lopsided figure with a big eye and a curved line for a body. The other shape is smaller, with a circle and a few lines that don’t quite form anything clear. The lines are thick and uneven, like they were drawn quickly or with a brush dipped in ink. The artist used a thick, paste-like paint that sticks out slightly from the paper. The dark marks cover most of the light background, making the shapes stand out sharply. If you like this style, look up Paul Klee next.
