Untitled is a 1986 acrylic by Joan Nelson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two dark, moody landscapes side by side. The skies are heavy with thick, swirling clouds, and the ground below is a mix of muted browns and grays. There’s a winding path or road cutting through the scene, with small trees or bushes scattered along the edges. The colors are mostly earthy tones, but the clouds stand out as a lighter, almost glowing shape against the dark background. The brushstrokes look rough and layered, giving the whole scene a textured, uneven feel. Look up Joan Nelson to see more of her work.
