From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1936 gouache by Romare Bearden, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a soldier walking away from you, his back turned. He’s carrying a bow with arrows, and his uniform has the word "WAR" written on it. The background looks like a beach or shore, with a faint horizon line. The soldier’s stance and the text make it feel like war is looming. The artist used a mix of crayon, ink, and colored pencil to create this sketch-like style. Next, check out gouache to see how this soft, opaque paint works.
