Untitled is a 1966 oil by Hisao Domoto, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows big red shapes on a light background. Some red circles line up in rows. Other red shapes look like stretched-out ovals or broken lines. The colors are flat—no shadows or depth. The brushstrokes are thick in spots, almost like the paint was scraped on. The red and light colors clash but also feel calm. The circles and lines don’t connect, yet they fit together. The paint looks heavy in places, like it was squeezed straight from the tube. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
