Untitled is a 2009 gouache by Paulo Monteiro, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a single, wavy line in blue and orange ink on a light gray background. The line starts thin at the top left and curves downward, growing slightly wider as it moves. The rest of the paper is mostly blank, with just a few faint marks. The line looks like it was drawn freehand, with no ruler or grid. The blue and orange colors sit side by side, almost like two edges of the same shape. If you like simple, bold lines like this, check out gouache—it’s a paint that mixes water and pigment, letting colors blend or stay sharp.
