In the mood for: underdone art

I like the look of something that is not overcooked. I love the look of something that has not been thought out more than necessary, whether in fashion, or in other art. The perfectionism still exists, but never neurotically so.

Yesterday I visited the Yale University Art Gallery, where I enjoyed these underdone pieces:
