Untitled is a 2001 oil by Paul McCarthy, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is messy and layered. You see a shipwreck, a face with a hat labeled "PENIS HAT," and words like "CUT THE CAP PENIS" and "PENIS FACTORY" scribbled everywhere. The colors are mostly red, black, and white, with some blue and green splashes. There’s a figure lying on the ground, and a big black "Y" shape in the middle. The artist mixed different materials—paper, charcoal, and pastels—to create this chaotic look. It’s not a smooth painting; it’s rough and collage-like.
