Untitled is a 1943 oil by Rafael Moreno, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a bright, sunny farm scene with a small wooden house under a thatched roof. A woman in a white dress pumps water from a well while a man plows a field with an ox. Chickens peck near the house, cows graze in a fenced pasture, and tall palm trees line the horizon under a fluffy blue sky. The artist used bold colors and thick brushstrokes to make the scene feel lively. The bright light and shadows give everything a warm, almost glowing look. If you like this, check out impasto—the technique of laying paint thickly to create texture.
Rafael Moreno (1887–1955) was a Cuban artist, born in Spain.
