1918

From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1918 oil by Vilmos Huszár, a Art Nouveau work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all sharp angles and bold colors. Big blocks of black, white, red, blue, and yellow sit unevenly, like someone stacked them by hand. The shapes don’t line up—some lean or tilt, creating empty spaces between them. The edges are clean, with no soft blending. The colors feel flat and bright, almost like painted paper. There’s no shadow or depth trickery here—just straight lines and solid hues. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow for drama.
Vilmos Huszár was a Hungarian painter and designer. He lived in The Netherlands, where he was one of the founding members of the art movement De Stijl.
