Untitled is a 1989 watercolor by Thomas Schütte, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows four bare tree stumps in a row, standing in a flat, grassy field. The sky above is pale blue with soft, fluffy white clouds. The edges of the paper are black, making the whole scene look like it’s inside a circle. The trees look dead or cut down, with no leaves or branches. The artist used watercolor for the sky and grass, and a darker pen for the stumps. If you like this simple, quiet style, check out Thomas Schütte.
