Untitled is a 1985 oil by Jill Moser, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two dark, stretched shapes against a light background. The forms look like they could be boats or abstract figures, but they’re simple and shadowy. The edges are rough, with some smudged lines where the dark meets the light. The artist used thick, layered marks—almost like scribbles—to build up the shapes. It feels less polished than a finished drawing, more like a sketch left to dry. Check out impasto next to see how artists use thick paint layers like this.
