Untitled is a 1940 oil by Arthur Dove, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a white building with dark, blocky windows. Around it, swirling shapes in yellow, green, and brown look like trees or clouds. The colors are thick and uneven, almost like brushstrokes that jump out. The artist used a technique where paint is laid on thickly, so you can see the texture. It’s not smooth—it’s almost tactile, like running your hand over the surface. Look up impasto next to see how this thick paint style works.
