Untitled is a 1900 oil by André Derain, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a bright green tree on the left, its leaves almost glowing against a deep blue sky. In the middle, two figures sit on a bench, one wearing a dark hat and the other a light scarf. The background has rough brushstrokes—fields, a fence, and shadowy trees—all mixed with bold colors. The thick paint here makes the scene feel textured, almost like you could reach in and touch it. This style is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly. Look up impasto to see how artists use it to add depth to their work.
