About Untitled

The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by artist Clyfford Still in 1957. This piece, crafted using oil as its medium, is associated with the Color Field Painting movement. The painting measures 287 by 375 cm and falls within the genre of abstract art. It is currently housed at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) located in San Francisco, California, United States.

The artwork prominently features expansive fields of color, characterized by a dominant palette of vibrant yellow with incursions of deep red and black. The composition is abstract, invoking a dynamic interplay between the jagged forms of contrasting hues. The red and black sections appear to intrude upon the yellow field, creating a sense of tension and movement. The textures suggest a layered application of paint, contributing to the overall expressive quality of the piece. The absence of defined shapes or forms encourages viewers to engage with the emotional and sensory impact of the colors and their arrangement within the space.
