Untitled is a 1943 oil by Walter Stuempfig, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a busy beach scene with people lounging, swimming, and walking near the water. In the background, there’s a faded wooden building on stilts with red curtains hanging from its porch, and a larger, grander building with columns. A lighthouse stands tall on the right side, while the sky is filled with soft, fluffy clouds. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the scene a lively, almost rough feel. The colors are bright but muted, like a warm summer day. If you like this style, check out impasto—it’s the technique of laying paint thickly for texture.
Walter Stuempfig (1914–1970) was an American artist, born in Germantown.
