Untitled is a 1994 gouache by Sigmar Polke, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a shadowy figure made of tiny dots and circles. The background is soft yellow with a streak of red on the left side. The figure’s edges are fuzzy, like it’s melting or dissolving. The dots are black, white, and yellow, packed tightly in some spots and sparse in others. The red streak feels like a slash of light cutting through the shape. Try looking up *gouache* next to see how this paint works.
