About this work
Overview
Max Weber's Untitled is a drawing created in 1918, executed in gouache and ink on paper mounted on board. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts two figures in a dimly lit interior. A seated figure, clad in a dark coat, holds an object, while a shirtless figure stands beside them, with an arm wrapped around their shoulders. A crookedly hung painting and a vase with flowers are visible in the background.
Technique & Style
The work is characterized by loose, rapid brushstrokes, lending it a sketchy appearance. The color palette is subdued, with browns and grays predominating, punctuated by brighter accents in the vase and flowers. The use of gouache, an opaque water-based paint, allows for bold, flat applications of color.
