Untitled 1949

"Untitled" is a 1949 painting by French artist Gaston Chaissac (1910–1964). The work features two figures, one with a large, exaggerated head and a pair of legs, and the other with a small, childlike head and longer, slender legs. The figures are rendered in bold, colorful strokes against a stark red background, with a use of black outlines. Chaissac's work often explores the themes of humanity and the human condition, using simple forms and bold colours to create an expressive and engaging style, often drawing comparisons to the Art Brut movement.
