Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Divisibilité indéfinie (Indefinite Divisibility), 1942

    Yves Tanguy

    Two biomorphic forms sit side by side in the foreground of this abstract, dream-like landscape. The smaller form on the left includes a gray square with red sticks emerging from its left side. Narrow gray stalks support the blue and pink shapes that make up the taller form on the right, which casts a long shadow toward the top left corner of the painting. Nine small circular discs with white sides and blue surfaces appear scattered throughout the scene.
  • 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.
  • Une laveuse au Quai d'Anjou (Laundress on the Quai d'Anjou), ca. 1860

    Honoré Daumier

    At center, a woman holds the hand of a small child, helping her up a set of stairs. The woman carries a bundle of laundry under her left arm, and both figures are dressed in what appears to be clothing typical of the mid-nineteenth century working class, although the dark, muted colors and sketchy brushwork make it difficult to make out detail. The brightly lit outlines of a city landscape cast the shadowy figures in strong relief.
  • Parallel I-IV, 2012-2014

    Harun Farocki

    Five large digital screens hang from the ceiling of a darkened room. Two are hung side by side toward the left and rear of the room; two more are hung side by side toward the right and rear of the room; and a single screen hangs in the center foreground. All five screens feature imagery sourced from contemporary video games.
  • Karma, 2010

    Do Ho Suh

    Against the white marbled columned exterior of the museum, a life-size muscular male nude, his arms hanging down on either side of his body, stands upright on a metal base. Sitting on his shoulders are a series of identical male nudes squatting one on top of the another, each one smaller than the one below. Each figure holds his hands over the eyes of the figure beneath him.
  • La Musique, 1939

    Henri Matisse

    Two women look out toward the viewer from this brightly colored painting. The artist depicted these women using simple, flat shapes with dark outlines. The woman in a caramel colored dress at left sits on a floor cushion next to sheet music. The woman at right wears a marine blue jumpsuit with yellow triangles at the bottom of the legs. She has one foot on the floor and one on the couch on which she sits while playing guitar. A red tile floor contrasts with a black wall decorated with large green leaves.
  • The Marvelous Sauce, ca. 1890

    Jehan Georges Vibert

    A corpulent older man wearing a long white apron over his scarlet cardinal’s robes stands with a copper sauce pan in his left hand and a spoon held aloft in triumph in his right while, to the left, a younger man in chef’s hat and coat with an apron partially covering his bright blue, knee-length trousers looks at the spoon held in his right hand with skepticism. A large stove with a massive stone hood appears behind the cardinal, and a table laden with produce and meat appears behind the chef.
  • London, Large Thames View I, 1926

    Oskar Kokoschka

    London, Large Thames View I
  • Street in Meknes, 1832

    Eugène Delacroix

    Four barefoot figures populate this scene of a Moroccan street at midday. On the left, a woman and a young adult stand outside a darkened doorway; an older man sleeps hidden in its shadows. The woman wears a knee-length garment belted with a decorative sash and a scarf covers her hair. The young adult wears a knee-length tunic and a voluminous shawl. A white robed man holding a knife sits on the other side of the doorway.
