Untitled is a 1979 oil by Edward Ruscha, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a big, white word—"BEVERLY" with a slash through it—standing alone. The background is a soft, warm sunset with orange and yellow clouds. The letters are bold and simple, like a sign cut out of paper. The slash through "BEVERLY" might be a joke or a comment. The artist used thick paint for the letters, making them stand out against the sky. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
