Untitled is a 1986 oil by Eric Fischl, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows three people on a sandy beach under a bright blue sky. One person is holding a red-and-white umbrella, another stands shirtless in swim trunks, and the third lounges on their stomach, facing away. The sand is light yellow, and the water looks greenish-blue in the distance. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on the skin and fabric. The colors feel bold but not polished—some areas look almost rough. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
Eric Fischl (born March 9, 1948) is an American painter, sculptor, printmaker, draughtsman and educator. He is known for his paintings depicting American suburbia from the 1970s and 1980s.
