About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 2009 drawing by Swiss artist Silvia Bächli, created with gouache on paper. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Technique & Style

The work features smooth, wavy lines in soft gray and white, achieved through the use of gouache, a thin, watery paint. The strokes, which run from top to bottom, blend together to create gentle curves, evoking the appearance of fabric or water.

Subject & Meaning

The simplicity of the drawing belies a sense of aliveness, generated by the way the colors mix and blend. The absence of sharp edges contributes to the overall effect, creating a soft, fluid impression.
