  • Other Faces, 2011

    William Kentridge

    Other Faces
  • Flowers in a Vase, 1909

    Henri Rousseau

    Flowers in a Vase
  • 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.
  • Head - Red and Yellow, 1962

    Roy Lichtenstein

    A woman’s head and neck, cleanly outlined like a classic comic book illustration, fills the majority of this large square canvas. This figure is painted in bright red and white against a solid yellow background. The woman looks toward the right and her large mouth is opened in a laugh. Shoulder length, loosely curled hair frames her face. Her skin is covered with a field of miniscule red dots in emulation of halftone printing.
  • Page Boy at Maxim's, ca. 1927

    Chaïm Soutine

    In this tall, narrow portrait, painted with loose, energetic brush strokes, a young man wearing a deep red uniform with matching cap stands in front of a dark burgundy, gray, green, and blue background. A row of gold buttons extends down the front of the boy’s jacket. His right hand is by his side, palm facing out, and his left hand is clenched in front of his waist. The figure’s dark eyes, hair, and moustache stand out again his pale skin.
  • Buffalo Newsboy, 1853

    Thomas Le Clear

    Buffalo Newsboy
  • Piano Piece, 1993

    Nam June Paik

    At the heart of this sculpture are thirteen boxy television sets of different sizes stacked atop of an upright player piano. Some screens livestream the moving keys as recorded by a video camera on a tripod set up in front of the piano while others show prerecorded footage of hands playing a piano. A white stool and a small spotlight on a tripod illuminating the keyboard are also set up in front of the piano.
  • Drift 2, 1966

    Bridget Riley

    Drift No. 2
  • Frauenbildnis (Portrait of a Woman), 1911

    Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

    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.
