From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1935 gouache by Romare Bearden, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a man sitting at a small table, reading a newspaper. His face is turned toward a tall figure in a bulky diving suit standing inside a bathtub. The room looks simple—just a chair, a cup, and some books. The diving suit is dark and clunky, with a helmet and air hose. The diving suit in the tub is a joke—it’s clearly not real. The artist used humor to point out how silly some jobs or situations could seem. Want to see more work like this? Check out Romare Bearden.
