1922

From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1922 gouache by Theo van Doesburg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows four big blocks of color in a square. The top left is bright red, the top right is deep blue, the bottom left is a faded white, and the bottom right is a warm yellow. The edges are rough, and the colors look slightly uneven, like they were painted by hand. The white block has faint pencil marks, almost like a sketch underneath. The paper and paint look worn, with some brown edges showing through. If you like this kind of bold, simple color, check out gouache to learn more about the medium.
Theo van Doesburg was a Dutch painter, writer, poet, and architect. He is best known as the founder and leader of De Stijl.
