Untitled is a 1925 watercolor by Yasuo Kuniyoshi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two nude women standing side by side. One has her hair pulled back and rests her hand on her head, while the other holds a draped cloth over her shoulder. Both are drawn with bold, rounded shapes and simple features—big eyes, full hips, and long legs. The lines are smooth but slightly uneven, like a sketch that’s been polished. The artist used watercolor and ink to create a flat, almost cartoonish look, ignoring realistic shading. Their bodies are exaggerated but not in a way that feels exaggerated—just solid and present.
