Untitled is a 1901 oil by Louis Eilshemius, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a dark, rocky scene with two small figures and a giant, shadowy monster looming above. The figures look scared—one stands with hands covering her head, the other crouches on the ground. The monster has a blurry face, wild hair, and a giant club raised in the air. The colors are mostly dark browns and blacks, with streaks of yellow and green in the background. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the painting a wild, uneven look. This style makes the scene feel chaotic and intense. If you like this kind of bold, dramatic painting, look up impasto.
Louis Michel Eilshemius (February 4, 1864 – December 29, 1941) was an American painter, primarily of landscapes and nudes. He also wrote musical compositions, verse, novels, short stories, and published periodicals.
