Untitled is a 2005 oil by Dana Schutz, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is packed with people—all different ages, staring or looking away. In the center, a giant fish lies on a table, surrounded by hands reaching toward it. The colors are bright and warm, with lots of yellows, oranges, and reds. Some faces are blurred, while others are sharp and detailed. The artist used thick paint to create texture, especially on the fish and table. It looks almost three-dimensional in spots. Look up impasto next to see how artists use paint this way.
Dana Schutz is an American artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Schutz is known for her gestural, figurative paintings that often take on specific subjects or narrative situations as a point of departure.
