About this work
Overview
Eugene Berman's 1972 Untitled is a mixed-media drawing on paper held at The Museum of Modern Art.
Subject & Meaning
The work depicts a figure with outstretched arms, wearing a tall hat adorned with red spiky shapes and a loose, patterned outfit with red and black accents. The figure's face is obscured by dark glasses and a mask-like expression, while its oversized hands are clad in long, thin red gloves.
Technique & Style
Executed in watercolor, gouache, and ink, the drawing features a rough, textured blue background and a collage-like outfit assembled from disparate elements. The overall effect is one of quirky, exaggerated characterization.
