Untitled is a 1932 oil by Pierre Bonnard, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a woman standing in a bright, cluttered room. She’s naked, drying her hair with a towel. A table behind her holds a teapot, cups, and a basket of bread. A cat sits on the floor, and another animal—maybe a dog—peeks out from under a chair. The walls are covered in patterned wallpaper, and light floods in through a window with striped curtains. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, almost like the scene was painted quickly. The colors pop—blues, pinks, and yellows—without blending smoothly. If you like this loose, colorful style, look up Pierre Bonnard next.
