Untitled is a 1965 gouache by Richard Tuttle, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a soft, blurry mix of browns and tans on paper. You can barely make out a faint white line near the middle, like a ghostly horizon. The edges look uneven, almost like it was torn or cut out of a notebook. The artist used a thin, watery paint called gouache—it’s not thick like acrylics, so the colors blend into each other. The whole thing feels loose and quick, like a sketch that wasn’t meant to be finished. If you like this kind of simple, abstract work, check out gouache next to see how it’s different from other paints.
Richard Dean Tuttle (born July 12, 1941) is an American postminimalist artist known for his small, casual, subtle, intimate works.
