Untitled is a 1966 gouache by Victor Vasarely, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a grid of colored blocks in red, blue, black, and purple. The shapes look like cubes stacked in a 3D pattern, but they’re flat on the page. Light hits some blocks, making shadows that trick your eye into seeing depth. The artist used bright, flat colors with sharp edges. No faces or scenes—just shapes and shadows playing with how we see space. If you like this, check out gouache next to see how artists use it for bold, flat colors.
