About this work

Overview

Terry Winters' 1986 painting, Untitled, is an abstract oil on linen work held at The Museum of Modern Art.

Subject & Meaning

The painting depicts three stacked bowls with bright yellow centers, surrounded by scattered circles resembling coins or paint splatters, set against a rough gray background. The bowls appear heavy and empty, while the surrounding elements convey a sense of careless movement.

Technique & Style

The work features thick paint application, or impasto, which alters the texture of the painting. Visible brushstrokes and black loops near the top add to the textured, abstract quality.
