Untitled is a 1950 oil by Auguste Herbin, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is made of bold, flat shapes—big circles, triangles, and rectangles. The colors are bright and simple: red, blue, yellow, black, and white. Some shapes overlap, while others sit next to each other like puzzle pieces. The background is mostly dark blue, making the colors pop even more. The artist used thick paint to create sharp edges between colors, almost like cutting out paper shapes. It’s all about clean lines and strong contrasts. Try looking up impasto to see how thick paint like this works.
