Untitled is a 1969 oil by Daniel Lang, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a quiet, flat landscape with a line of trees in the distance. The trees are drawn in simple, dark lines, some with a bit of red or brown wash. In the foreground, there’s a large, blurred gray shape that looks like a hill or a field. The whole scene feels loose and sketchy, with no sharp details. The artist used thin, watery paint to create soft edges, especially on the hill. The trees stand out against the pale background, almost like silhouettes. The way the paint blends gives it a dreamy, unfinished look. Want to see more work like this? Check out Daniel Lang.
