Untitled is a 1944 wood by James Edward Davis, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two sheets of translucent material stretched over wood. The colors are mostly warm—yellows, oranges, and reds—with thick black lines crisscrossing and twisting across the surface. The shapes feel loose and uneven, like scribbles or shadows. The artist used a mix of flat washes and sharp strokes, giving it a rough, almost messy look. The black lines stand out against the soft colors, making the whole thing feel dynamic. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
James Edward Davis (1901–1974) was an American artist.
