Untitled is a 1950 oil by Rollin Crampton, a Abstract Expressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a dark, rough canvas with thick, uneven brushstrokes. The colors are mostly muted grays and browns, with no clear shapes or figures—just swirling textures that look almost like cracked earth or stormy water. There’s a faint, lighter spot near the top, but nothing stands out as a face or object. The paint is applied so heavily in places it looks almost three-dimensional, like you could run your fingers over it. This technique is called *impasto*. Try searching impasto to see how other artists used thick paint like this.
Rollin Crampton (1886–1970) was an American artist, born in New Haven.
