This wintery landscape features a path that follows a still gray river as it curves from the bottom right corner of the canvas and recede into the distance under an overcast sky. On the right side of the painting, smokestacks on a distant are reflected in the water. Four small figures summarily rendered in dark tones walk on the path, with one appearing to move toward the viewer. To the left is a patch of trees and grass that peeks out beneath melting snow.

This painting features at center a young man in a blue and red military uniform and carrying a rifle mounted on a chestnut brown horse. They ride through a winter landscape. Light snow covers the ground, perforated by small clumps of brown and dried-looking grasses. A cluster of tall pine trees fills the upper-left corner and a few additional trees frame the right edge of the canvas.

Paysans dans les champs, Éragny (Peasants in the Fields, Éragny), 1890

Camille Pissarro

A landscape of recently cleared fields and grass covered hills beneath a sunny blue sky filled with white clouds fills this horizontally oriented painting. In the bottom left foreground, a woman holding a basket in her right hand watches as a man thrusts a shovel into the ground. A horse-drawn wagon approaches in the distance, and a child sits in the field toward the right edge of the painting. The entire scene is rendered in individual dots of paint in deep blue, violet, green, orange, and other shades.

Carnaval d'Arlequin (Carnival of Harlequin), 1924-1925

Joan Miró

This painting features a beige-color room full of fantastical creatures performing music and acrobatics, and floating through the air. These colorful beings are shaped like musical instruments, insects, animals, and mermaids and interact with instruments, musical notes, a ladder, dice, unicycle, a shooting star, and other objects. A window at top right looks out onto a landscape, and beneath it is a table with a fish, a globe, and papers.

Petit nu bleu (Little Blue Nude), ca. 1878-1879

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

A young white-skinned woman, nude to the waist, sits on the grassy bank of a body of water in the center of this vertically oriented painting. A blue cloth or portion of a garment with white edges loosely covers her lap. She grasps her left ankle, which rests on her right knee, with both hands, and she gazes toward the bottom left of the canvas. The paint was applied quickly and loosely with visible brushstrokes.

What appears to be a multicolored furred or feathered garment rests on the back of her red chair. Her face, oriented left, is largely obscured by shadow. She clutches a folded fan in her right hand and adjusts the top of her left hand. The entire scene is loosely painted in a palette dominated by dark greens and yellows.

Softly delineated shapes in a rainbow of vivid colors cover the surface of this painting. Near the top right corner, a series of boxes reminiscent of the contours of an early biplane float above a tower of intersecting green lines that extends to the bottom of the canvas.

Diverse abstract patterns layer atop one another and a black background to fill much of this painting. Slightly below the center of the painting is a circle with a red center with white and black rings. Above this curves a red arc with two parallel, irregular white lines that spans nearly the entire width of the painting. Behind these elements are smaller sections of checked and ribbon-like patterns.

A black woman in a blue hat and coat of matching color over a brown skirt and white, high-necked blouse stands at the center of this painting. She appears to be standing up from a red-back chair, her left arm extended against an almost neon green form in the background. The bottom portion of a painting depicting nude figures in a landscape is visible behind her head, and the corner of a table covered with a light blue tablecloth fills the bottom right corner of the canvas.

Jetties at Bellport, 1912

William James Glackens

The thin sliver of beach in the bottom left corner of this horizontally oriented canvas features a loosely painted scene of multiple Caucasian figures dressed for a summer’s outing. Two thin wooden piers extend horizontally into the ocean, filling most of bottom two-thirds of the canvas. A couple sailboats dot the horizon and a third boat is pulling up to the pier in the foreground. The sky filling the upper third of the canvas is light blue with lilac tinged clouds reflecting in the water below.

Le Matin en Provence (Morning in Provence), ca. 1900-1906

Paul Cézanne

Similarly short, distinct brushstrokes primarily in cool shades of green and blue coalesce into a sketchily painted landscape; portions of the canvas are visible. A light green field fills much of the bottom third of the canvas, and the sky above, while largely blue, also includes some green areas. A slender, leafless tree rises from the left edge of the field and curves at its top toward the right and downward. A small, light brown house sits on the right edge of the field.

Les Arbres (The Trees), ca. 1906

André Derain

A vibrantly colored landscape with several slim-trunked trees and mountains in the background fills this canvas. The sky is a light yellow while the ground is a slightly darker, sandy hue. The artist used cool blues with patches of crimson to depict the mountains, and warm reds, yellows, and oranges to emphasize tall, thin tree trunks in the foreground. Shadows fall diagonally from the trees toward the right hand corner of the painting where the artist’s small, blue signature rests.

Similarly short, distinct brushstrokes coalesce into the trees and shallow, walled pool that fill this landscape. A thin-trunked tree with light-dappled yellow-green foliage fills much of the left side of the canvas. Behind the tree, a low sandy colored wall contains a shallow, rectangular pool of water. Additional trees with darker green leaves line the right edge of the pool, extending to the upper edge of the canvas.

Rue de village à Marlotte (Village Street in Marlotte), 1866

Alfred Sisley

This horizontally oriented canvas features a loosely painted rural scene of several old stone houses and a dirt road running between them. Tall trees rise above behind the roofs. The grey and somber light that pervades the scene overall streams from a cloudy sky in the top quarter of the canvas. In the painting’s middle ground, a human figure wearing a blue shirt and light-colored trousers raises an axe above his head in order to chop a large branch at his feet.

L'Ambitieuse (Political Woman), 1883-1885

James Tissot

A woman in an elaborately ruffled pink dress with a large feathered fan enters an ornately decorated ballroom filled with party-goers on the arm of a much older gentleman. She looks left and outward beyond the viewer, while the attention of nearly all other male figures in the scene is directed at her. The textures of various surfaces and fabrics are painted with rich detail and texture, especially the pink dress ruffles gathered on a plush red ottoman at the bottom of the frame.

Stuart Davis

Abstract shapes filled with solid areas of red, blue, white, and black paint float in a loosely linked cluster in the middle of this small beige canvas. Many of the shapes loosely resemble buildings, including a red structure with blue windows and tall black smokestacks at center, which sits beneath a white rectangle featuring the letters L and R in blue. A white shape with red edges at bottom resembles at boat while a patch of blue at bottom left may suggest water.

Geometric forms in different shades of red, green, and light brown shape this abstract landscape. A large green triangular shape stripped with seven black furrows, stretches from the middle of the top edge to the bottom-right corner and toward to the bottom-left corner. A dark red shape with a scalloped edge borders the right side of the triangle, and a light brown sphere patterned with five horizontal waves peeks out from behind the triangle’s left side.

The Man from Eden (George Fitzgerald), 1930

Walt Kuhn

This portrait features a young Caucasian man shown from the waist up against a roughly defined background of blue, gray, and brown. The brushwork overall is quite loose. The man wears an oversized orange jacket open over a wrinkled light-green button-down shirt that gapes around his neck. The man’s face is very thin, with prominent cheekbones and sunken, gray-blue eyes. His shortly cropped brown hair is slightly receding above his right ear.

Remo Bufano

This mostly smooth surface of this bronze sculpture features the simplified facial features and shoulders of an old woman. She appears to be wrapped in a fabric garment so that only her face, the top of her head, and a portion of her right hand are visible. Beneath a lined forehead, her eyes are half open and her lips are set in a deep, weary frown.

The Family, 1911

Charles Webster Hawthorne

This painting includes a middle-aged Caucasian man, a young Caucasian boy, and a Caucasian woman—presumably a family of father, child and mother. The father and child meet the viewer’s gaze. The father is seated and extends his left hand around the waist of the standing boy, who rests his right hand on his father’s right hand. The boy’s left arm rests on a table, on which sits a large empty metal bowl and a dead silvery fish. Behind the table sits the mother, who is focused on an object in her hands.

Tam Gan, 1914

Robert Henri

This painting features a young Asian woman, shown from the waist up, against a loosely painted background of warm yellow and tangerine orange. The paint has been applied with visible brushstrokes throughout. She meets the viewer’s gaze, and a hint of smile plays across her lips. Her long-sleeved lilac top features a standing collar, and light blue piping extends from the collar to the right edge of her torso and down to her waist. A couple loose strands of her jet-black hair frame her face.

The child’s cheeks are bright right, and she meets the viewer’s gaze. She wears a somewhat oversized, olive green coat with a bright red fringe at slightly below shoulder height. A hat of the same green color with additional bright red decorative elements covers her head.

A life-sized bronze abstract female nude holds her hands placed in front of her chest, as if cradling an invisible sphere. She appears to be perched on a tall chair, which supports and frames the figure from behind. The facial features on her flat, round head are angular. Her long, skinny body terminates in long legs bent at the knee. The figure’s feet rest on a narrow rectangular shaped stool at the sculpture’s base.

This wooden sculpture could abstractly resemble a reclining female body. The dark brown wood is polished to reveal the wood grain and knots throughout the form. The figure’s legs seem to be gently bent, and she appears to be resting on her elbows, with her head propped upright. The artist left the torso as an empty space, allowing viewers to see through the sculpture.

A man sits with his back to the window, facing a child who stands slightly to the right of the image’s center on the room’s red-and-white striped carpet. A table with a decorative urn, a patterned curtain behind the child, and the rest of the room’s furnishings are also largely in shades of white and red with blue accents. The entire scene is painted in rough, loose brushstrokes.

A vibrant array of colorful geometric forms abut and overlap one another in the abstract kaleidoscopic patterning that covers this large, vertically oriented canvas. The colors range from red, blue, green, and orange, to pink, black, maroon, and white. A thin red painted line separates the bulk of the composition from a border of red, yellow, blue, and green rectangles alternating with white.
