Untitled is a 1976 oil by Philip Guston, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a row of bright red apples lined up on a rough, dark surface. The apples are round and shiny, with tiny stems on top. Behind them, the background is a mix of light blue and gray brushstrokes, like a soft sky. The apples look almost too perfect, with a few slightly darker spots. The painting feels simple but also a little strange, like something you’d expect to see in a dream. If you like this, check out impasto, the technique of painting thickly so brushstrokes show.
