Untitled is a 1953 by Toshiko Okanoue, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image looks like a street scene but isn’t quite real. A woman in a dress and hat floats above, holding a phone to her ear. Below her, a man in a suit runs down a brick sidewalk, while another woman leans out a window, waving a fan. The buildings have old-fashioned lamps and a church steeple with a clock. The odd mix of cut-out photos and drawings makes the scene feel dreamlike. It’s like someone glued together different pictures to create something new.
