The Ohio Gang 1964

"The Ohio Gang" (1964), by British-American artist R. B. Kitaj, is a striking example of his signature style of figurative painting. Kitaj's work is often characterized by its use of collage, fragmented figures, and a sense of narrative ambiguity. This painting, currently housed in the Museum of Modern Art, features a series of figures arranged in a chaotic composition, their relationships and meaning left open to interpretation. The figures are depicted in a stylized manner, with bold outlines and contrasting colors, reflecting Kitaj's fascination with both Pop Art and European Modernism.
