Untitled is a 1982 paint by Dieter Roth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a diptych, meaning it's made up of two panels side by side. Each panel shows a face, but they're not realistic faces - they're more like abstract representations. The faces are painted in red, with some blue and yellow mixed in. They're not symmetrical, and they don't look like they're meant to be realistic portraits. One interesting thing about this painting is the way the artist has used different materials to create texture and depth. Some parts of the painting are smooth, while others are rough and bumpy. This gives the painting a sense of tactility, like you could reach out and touch it. If you're interested in learning more about this kind of abstract expressionism, you might want to check out the work of artist Dieter Roth.
