Untitled is a 2003 pastel by Robert Bechtle, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a quiet street corner in black and white. A sidewalk runs along a curb, leading to a patch of grass with a small bush. Power lines crisscross above, and a car is parked down the street. The buildings look plain, with simple windows and a slightly worn feel. Notice how the artist used shading to show light hitting the sidewalk and curb. It makes the scene feel real and three-dimensional. Check out pastel to see how artists use soft, blendable sticks of color.
Robert Alan Bechtle (May 14, 1932 – September 24, 2020) was an American painter, printmaker, and educator.
