Untitled is a 1904 oil by Paul Cezanne, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a rocky hillside near a place Cézanne called Château Noir. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, almost pasty. You can see where he dragged the paint up the canvas. Cézanne worked on this for over a year. He kept changing how he layered the paint to make the rocks feel solid. It looks rough up close, but far away it makes sense. If this kind of layered brushwork interests you, look up Paul Cézanne.
