The artwork titled “Untitled (The Artist and Woman Seated)” was created by Beauford Delaney in 1940. This piece, falling under the Expressionism art movement, is a self-portrait.
The artwork presents a scene within an interior setting, where the artist and a woman are depicted seated together. Their figures are rendered with expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colors typical of Expressionism. The artist employs bold, textured lines and a compelling color palette that conveys a sense of emotion and presence. The setting includes various elements such as a painting on the wall, a small table, and a couch where the two figures are seated, creating a composed yet dynamic representation of a moment in time.
