Untitled is a 1992 acrylic by Pope.L, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a rough, brown rectangle with a small, dark hole in the center. Inside the hole, there’s a faint, blurry face looking out. The edges of the brown shape are uneven, like it’s melting or cracked, and the background is a pale, streaky white. The brown stuff isn’t just paint—it’s made with peanut butter and newspaper, stuck to a plastic board. That’s weird but intentional. Check out impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
William Pope.L, also known as Pope.L, was an accomplished American visual artist recognized for his contributions to performance art and interventionist public art.
