Untitled is a 1911 oil by Max Weber, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two figures sitting side by side, wrapped in heavy blue robes. Their faces are hidden—one by their hands, the other by a hood. Between them, a red shape looks like a tree or a crack in the dark background. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the colors feel uneven. The artist used bold, uneven strokes to create texture, almost like the paint was scraped on. This technique is called *impasto*—where thick layers of paint stand out from the surface. Next, look up *impasto* to see how other artists used it.
