  • Danseuse au café (Dancer in a Café), 1912

    Jean Metzinger

    Danseuse au café (Dancer in a Café)
  • New York Waterfront, 1938

    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.
  • Electric, 1963

    Edward Ruscha

    The word “electric” in all capital, italicized letters spans across the center of this almost square canvas. The letters are painted in a gradient from bright yellow at the top to rich orange at the bottom, standing out in stark contrast against the solid deep blue background.
  • Wild Indigo, 1967

    Kenneth Noland

    Twenty-eight stripes of different colors and widths run the width of this horizontally oriented painting. The very clearly defined bands are separated by pencil-thin stripes of unpainted canvas. While the colors used vary, they are mostly distinct hues of red, green, and blue.
  • La voix des airs (The Voice of Space), 1928

    René Magritte

    La voix des airs (The Voice of Space)
  • Exuberance, 1955

    Hans Hofmann

    Multidirectional, abstract brushstrokes animate the surface of this vertically oriented canvas. Dark blues, greens, and blacks contrast with passages of pale yellow and red. Two areas of red at top right and toward the bottom of the lower edge of the canvas seem to pulsate forward. At top left, a dark brown arc that looks like the letter C is surrounded with a dark rectangular outline.
  • Portrait of Miss Rosamond Croker, 1827

    Sir Thomas Lawrence

    Portrait of Miss Rosamond Croker
  • 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.
