About this work
Overview
Untitled is a drawing by Peter Doig, created in 1999 using oil and pastel on paper. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts a tall, shadowy figure with a hidden face, set against a blurry sky. The figure's stark black outline contrasts with the soft, swirling colors around it. A dark puddle on the ground reflects the figure, adding to the enigmatic scene.
Technique & Style
Thick, uneven brushstrokes and loose color blending give the drawing a dreamy, unclear quality. The impasto technique, characterized by raised, textured paint, contributes to the dynamic, almost moving effect of the sky.
