These painters made quiet, untitled pictures in 1938. Their brushstrokes sit between the raw edges of New Objectivity and the stillness of interwar modernism, though no formal label sticks. One of their joint canvases, “Untitled (1938, Painting)”, lets you trace the muted light and shadow they favored.

Slide to that canvas and notice how the light lands on the chair’s worn seat; it’s the clearest doorway into their spare, unflashy world.
