Untitled is a 1997 gouache by Matthew Benedict, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a man wrapped in a golden cloth, leaning on a tall staff. Two dogs sit near his feet, and behind him is a graveyard with a cross and a faded headstone. The background is a dull gray, while the man and dogs glow in bright yellow and gold. The artist used a mix of thick, shiny paint to make the figure stand out. The colors feel heavy, like sunlight on metal. Check out how the artist used gouache to create this striking effect.
Matthew Benedict (b. 1968) was an American artist, born in Rockville.
