Untitled is a 1962 oil by René Brô, a tachisme work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a flat, green field with trees in bright autumn colors—reds, yellows, and whites. The sky above is a mix of blue and green, with thick, uneven brushstrokes. Some trees are clustered together, while others stand alone, and the whole scene looks a little dreamy. The artist used a mix of oil and egg tempera, which might explain the rough, textured look. The colors pop against the flat background, making the trees feel almost glowing. If you like this style, check out impasto to see how thick paint can change a painting’s feel.
