Untitled is a 1939 by Demetrio Urruchúa, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a chaotic scene with bold, rough brushstrokes. A red-cloaked figure on a donkey charges forward, while other figures in bright colors—yellow, blue, and white—scatter around. Some are lying on the ground, others stand frozen, and the sky looks stormy with dark clouds. The artist used thick, uneven paint to create a sense of urgency and movement. The colors pop against the rough texture, making the scene feel alive and dramatic. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
