Untitled is a 1934 watercolor by Svavar Guðnason, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a quick, loose sketch of a landscape. You see soft watercolors—blues and greens for the water and sky, with patches of pink and yellow for trees or hills. The brushstrokes are light and blurry, like the artist worked fast or used wet paper. The signature in the corner says *Svavar-34*, which likely means it’s from 1934. The colors feel fresh but faded, like sunlight through thin clouds. If you like this style, check out watercolor, glazing for more on how artists build light with layers.
Svavar Guðnason (18 November 1909 – 25 June 1988) was an Icelandic painter active in the avant-garde movement COBRA.
