Untitled is a 1984 paint by Oliver Jackson, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is messy and colorful, with bold brushstrokes and wild shapes. The colors pop—bright blues, pinks, and greens clash with black outlines and splashes of red. Figures are stretched and twisted, some floating in the air, others slumped low. The lines are thick and uneven, like quick sketches that never smoothed out. The signature in the corner reads "Oliver Jackson" and the date "6.8.84," but no other details are clear. The paint looks thick in spots, almost like it was slapped on fast. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Oliver Lee Jackson (born 1935) is an American painter, sculptor, draftsman, printmaker, and educator.
