“Untitled” by Joan Brown, created in 1960, belongs to the Neo-Expressionism movement and falls under the still life genre.
The artwork depicts a still life scene that features a variety of objects rendered in a bold and textured manner. Dominating the composition is a pumpkin on the left side, positioned adjacent to a yellow object that appears to be a banana. To the right, a jar adorned with floral patterns stands out against a dark, intricate background. The palette comprises rich, contrasting colors such as greens, yellows, and deep blues, applied with thick, expressive brushstrokes that are characteristic of Neo-Expressionism. The artist employs vigorous textural elements, evoking a sense of tactility and movement within the still life arrangement.
