Untitled is a 1888 oil by Paul Gauguin, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows four dogs crowding around a metal bowl on a table. Nearby are three dark vases, a striped basket with a lemon, and a cloth with pears, peaches, and an apple. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, and the colors are bright but not perfectly blended. The dogs look almost playful, but their focus is on the bowl—maybe they’re waiting for something to eat. The background is simple, letting the objects stand out. If you like this loose, bold style, check out impasto.
Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (; French: ; 7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903) was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer, whose work has been primarily associated with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements.
