Untitled is a 1940 ink by Stanley William Hayter, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This abstract painting features a central figure with a white head, brown body, and blue legs, set against a warm orange background. The figure's head is tilted to the left, with a long neck and a white, triangular shape on its head. The background is divided into sections, with a blue rectangle on the left and a brown rectangle at the top. The painting's colors are muted, with shades of brown, orange, and blue dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the central figure appearing peaceful and contemplative. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up etching.
