Untitled is a 1999 pastel by Jules Olitski, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two tall, dark shapes rising from a swirling, cloudy base. The background is soft and blurry, mixing pale blues, yellows, and greens. The brushstrokes are loose and uneven, almost like smudged chalk. The artist used pastel—soft, waxy sticks of color—to create this dreamy, hazy effect. The lines look like they’re dissolving into the sky. If you like this style, look up pastel next.
Jevel Demikovski, known professionally as Jules Olitski, was an American painter, printmaker, and sculptor.
