Untitled is a 1917 oil by Stanton Macdonald-Wright, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a wild mix of bright, flat colors—no shadows or depth. Sharp edges divide blocks of red, blue, purple, and yellow. The shapes don’t look like anything real; they’re more like a puzzle with no rules. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the paint was scraped on. It feels messy but planned, like the artist wanted you to see the colors first. Try looking up impasto next to see how this technique works.
