Untitled is a 1964 oil by Vija Celmins, a Realism work, depicting firearm, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a close-up of a hand holding a gun. The background is plain and dark. The gun looks heavy in the hand. This work stands out because it’s not a dramatic action scene. It’s quiet and still. The artist focused on the weight and feel of the object. Look up Vija Celmins to see more of her precise, realistic style.
