Untitled is a 1979 watercolor by Richard Haas, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a city skyline at night, viewed from across a body of water. Tall buildings line the shore, some glowing with warm lights. Bridges stretch into the distance, and the sky is soft and pale. The water below is calm, reflecting faint light. The artist used very light colors to make the scene feel quiet and dreamy. The buildings are drawn with loose lines, almost like a sketch. Look up watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up light and depth with layers.
