Untitled is a 1960 oil by Yves Klein, a tachisme work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is just a big blue blob on a light background. The color is deep, almost navy, with some lighter streaks and drips. It looks like paint was smeared and splattered, with no clear shapes or figures. The artist used a lot of paint—thick and wet—so it left visible brush marks and uneven spots. The edges are messy, like someone dipped their hand in paint and dragged it across the canvas. If you like this kind of bold, simple painting, look up Yves Klein.
