Untitled is a 1931 watercolor by Yves Tanguy, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a strange, dreamlike landscape. The ground looks like rough, uneven rocks with odd shapes sticking out—some with faces or limbs. A few small creatures or objects crawl or float nearby, and the sky is mostly empty except for a few floating forms. Colors are mostly muted, with some red lines shooting upward from the right side. The artist used simple shapes to create something unsettling yet oddly calm. The red lines add a sharp contrast to the otherwise soft, earthy tones. If you like this style, look up Yves Tanguy.
Raymond Georges Yves Tanguy (5 January 1900 – 15 January 1955), known as just Yves Tanguy (; French: ), was a French Surrealist painter, known for his abstract landscapes.
