Untitled is a 1980 tempera by Bill Jensen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks messy on purpose. Sharp black and white shapes fight for space, like torn paper. A blue oval sits in the middle, soft and fuzzy, as if someone smudged it with a wet finger. The rough edges and mixed colors make it feel raw. The artist used old-school tempera paint—egg yolk mixed with color—along with pastels and charcoal. Check out Bill Jensen to see more of his work.
Bill Jensen (b. 1945) was an American artist, born in Minneapolis.
