The artwork titled “Untitled (Village Street Scene)” was created by Beauford Delaney in 1948. It belongs to the Expressionism and Fauvism art movements and is a cityscape genre piece.
The artwork presents a vivid and dynamic depiction of a village street scene. It is characterized by bold and vibrant colors, heavy use of black lines, and an abstract presentation. The buildings and streets are rendered in striking hues of red, blue, yellow, and green, interspersed with black outlining that gives the scene a sense of structure amidst the chromatic exuberance. The sky is depicted with swirling cloud formations in shades of blue and grey. The composition reflects a sense of movement and energy, capturing the essence of Expressionism and Fauvism through its emphasis on emotional experience and bold color palette.
