Untitled is a 1986 by Christopher Le Brun, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two blurred figures standing close together. One has a red splotch on their head, while the other wears a pale, almost ghostly robe. The background is dark and smudged, with quick, uneven brushstrokes that make everything look rough and unfinished. The artist used thick, messy layers of ink to create the image—some areas are almost scratched into the surface. The red mark stands out sharply against the dark, making it the only bright spot. Look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint in their work.
