Untitled is a 1950 oil by Mordecai Ardon, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a rough, layered mountain scene. Jagged shapes in blues, browns, and whites clash together. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like scraped-on paint. Some areas glow with pale yellows, while others sink into dark shadows. The way the colors and textures fight each other gives it energy. It’s not smooth or polished—it feels raw, like the artist built it up fast. This style is called impasto, where paint is laid on thick.
