Untitled is a 1950 oil by Wilson Bigaud, a haitian_folk_painting work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a busy jungle scene with thick green trees framing the edges. People in bright clothing dance, sit, and work near a river. Some carry baskets, others play drums, and a few rest under the trees. The colors are bold—reds, greens, and yellows stand out against the dark trunks. The artist used thick paint to make the leaves and vines look almost three-dimensional. The way light hits the figures and trees suggests a warm, lively atmosphere. Look up impasto to see how artists build texture with paint.
