Untitled is a 1958 oil by André Lanskoy, a tachisme work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a wild mix of shapes and colors. Thick brushstrokes create a dark, swirling background with splashes of blue, orange, and green. You can barely make out two figures—one standing, one sitting—buried in the chaotic lines and patches of paint. The colors clash and blend in a way that feels both messy and intentional. The thick paint here is piled up in some spots, almost like texture you could feel. It’s not smooth or polished—this is raw, up-close work. The artist didn’t worry about making things look real; instead, they focused on how the paint itself moves and interacts. If you like this bold, textured style, look up impasto next.
