About this work
Overview
Untitled (2002) is a watercolor drawing on paper by American artist Anne Chu, deviating from her characteristic sculptural practice to explore two-dimensional expression.
Subject & Meaning
The work depicts a seated figure gently holding a small dog on a leash, conveying a sense of quiet intimacy. The simple, expressive rendering of the dog's face adds a touch of endearment.
Technique & Style
Chu employs soft, blended watercolors in muted blues, yellows, and browns, complemented by loose, sketchy lines. The predominantly white background accentuates the central subject, while the watery paint effects and doodle-like dog face reflect a spontaneous, expressive approach.
History & Provenance
Created in 2002, Untitled is part of The Museum of Art's collection, standing as a unique example of Chu's experimentation with watercolor within her otherwise sculptural oeuvre.
