Untitled is a 1966 watercolor by Richard Lindner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a collage of bold shapes and colors. A figure with a wide-brimmed hat and a red tie sits in the center, its face painted white with a red smile. Behind it, a giant head with a mustache looms, its eyes made of smaller pictures. The background is a patchwork of squares, stripes, and circles in bright pinks, yellows, and blues. The artist mixed real images—like the tiny photo of two men in the corner—with hand-drawn lines and painted shapes. The mix of materials makes it look like a puzzle of different styles.
