Untitled is a 1962 oil by Thomas Mukarobgwa, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a wild, colorful storm over a forest. The sky is swirling blue with red and white streaks, like lightning or smoke. Below, dark green and brown trees stand out against bright yellow and orange patches on the ground—maybe fire or sunlight breaking through. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, almost like the paint was slapped on. It feels raw and full of energy, not smooth or polished. If you like this style, check out impasto.
Thomas Mukarobgwa (1924–1999) was a Zimbabwean painter and sculptor who worked as a gallery attendant for much of his career.
