Untitled is a 1987 acrylic by Thomas Schütte, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows four bright red cherries with dark stems, piled together on a rough, yellowish surface. Behind them is a flat blue background. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the colors look almost textured. The artist used bold, flat colors instead of realistic shading. This makes the cherries stand out sharply against the background. Next, look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
Thomas Schütte is a German contemporary artist. He sculpts, creates architectural designs, and draws. He lives and works in Düsseldorf.
