Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • 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.
  • Gotham News, 1955

    Willem de Kooning

    Thick jagged brushstrokes come together in an abstract composition covering this large-scale, horizontally oriented painting. Fields of red, and strokes of yellow, blue and black punctuate the largely white surface.
  • Elke-Akt 2, 1976

    Georg Baselitz

    An upside-down, loosely painted image of a seated woman fill this vertically oriented painting. The woman’s face, near the bottom center of the canvas, is quite legible, but her form progressively becomes more abstract toward her feet at the upper right of the canvas. The confident, gray strokes that define her outline are filled with white and occasional rose hues; the background is also predominately white.
  • Milkweed, 1955

    Lee Krasner

    This vertically oriented canvas seems to contain three layers. Softly defined rectangles in shades of mottled green, white, and cream form the background. Six large, amorphous black shapes with ragged edges rest on top. Finally, three cream-colored slivers extend vertically from the base of painting on its right side. Near the top and to the left of these forms, three small orange shapes peep out from background.
  • Hotel Lobby, 1950

    Max Beckmann

    More than a dozen figures crowd this canvas. Four appear to be seated around a table in the center and the rest appear to be standing elsewhere in the room. The figures’ features are abstracted, exaggerated, and outlined with thick black lines filled with a range of shades of muted russet, turquoise, pink, and green. The black frame of what appears to be a French door interrupts the right third of the composition.
  • Chemin de halage à Argenteuil (Towpath at Argenteuil, Winter), 1875-1876

    Claude Monet

    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.
  • Nomad, 1963

    James Rosenquist

    What appears to be a collage of unrelated images from advertisements and everyday photographs fills the surface of this large-scale horizontally oriented painting. A massive bowl of spaghetti and meatballs in the bottom right, a gray picnic table slightly above center, and three ballerina legs paired with the words NEW and Oxy at bottom left. A paint-splatted plastic bag tied at the bottom is suspended from the top-left corner of the canvas; a pile of paint-splattered wood scraps lies on the floor below.
  • Cinema, 1963

    George Segal

    Cinema
  • Le Bassin du Jas de Bouffan (The Pool at Jas de Bouffan), ca. 1878-1879

    Paul Cézanne

    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.
