Untitled is a 1929 oil by John Kane, a American Folk Art work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a shirtless man with a serious look, standing against a dark background. His hands rest in front of him, and he wears green shorts. Above him is a white arch shape, like a doorway, with a textured black wall behind it. The brushstrokes are thick, giving the skin a rough, almost sculpted look. The lighting focuses on his face and chest, leaving the rest of the painting darker. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
