Untitled is a 1991 gouache by Silvia Bächli, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a rectangle of white paper with two dark gray blobs that might be footprints. The blobs sit near the bottom edge, leaving plenty of empty space above. The gray shapes look soft and fuzzy, like shadows without a source. The paper itself feels thin and delicate under the gouache wash, almost like wet tissue. If you like this quiet mix of mark and blank space, try another artist who works with gouache.
