1918

From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1918 watercolor by Rafael Barradas, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a room with odd shapes. A person sits at a table, holding a small object with colorful bits. The walls are covered in mismatched tiles, and a dark coat hangs on the back of the chair. The colors are flat and bright, like a child’s drawing gone wild. The artist used thin, fast strokes—no shading or depth. The face is barely there, just a few lines. The whole scene feels off-kilter, like the room is tilted. Look up Rafael Barradas next—he played with these strange, simplified shapes.
Rafael Pérez Giménez Barradas, was an Uruguayan modernist painter and graphic artist who worked in Spain.
