Untitled is a 1924 oil by Davis, a Precisionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a tall, light blue container with the word "Odol" in bold letters and a smaller tag that says *"It Purifies."* The background is a checkerboard of green and white squares inside a purple frame. A white nozzle juts out from the top left corner, and the whole scene looks slightly tilted, like a box pushed forward. The bright colors and simple shapes make it feel modern and a little playful. The artist used flat colors with sharp edges, which stands out from older, more realistic styles. If you like this bold, graphic look, check out Stuart Davis.
