1997

From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1997 gouache by Luc Tuymans, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is mostly a pale green background with a dark, blurry figure in the center. The shape looks like a person sitting or kneeling, but the details are smeared—you can’t tell much about their face or clothes. The edges fade into the green, making it hard to focus on any one part. The artist used a mix of paint and cut-out sheets to create this effect. The signature in the corner says "Luc Tuymans, 1997," but the figure itself feels more like a shadow than a real person.
