Untitled is a 1953 tempera by Edmondo Bacci, a abstract expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a wild mix of colors. Big blocks of red and orange clash with dark shapes and white spots. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, like someone slapped paint on fast. You can barely make out a few vague figures or buildings in the chaos. The paint is thick and layered—it looks like it was built up over time. The artist used tempera, a paint made from pigment and egg yolk. Check out more about tempera to see how it works.
