  • 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.
  • Multiplied, 1972

    Philip Guston

    A forest of cartoon-like shoe soles protruding from thin, disembodied legs that sprout from an abstract red ground dominates the center of this image. A child-like rendering of the sun as an orange circle framed by black rays peeks out from the top right portion of this thicket. A white triangular mound marked with two vertical lines suggesting eyes enters from the right edge of the canvas.
  • Man with Dog, 1953

    Francis Bacon

    A muscular white dog on a chain leash and the lower legs of its owner are visible beneath a dark blue trapezoid that fills the upper quarter of this vertically oriented canvas. The pair stand on sidewalk abutting a stretch of road perforated by a storm drain. The dog’s head and tail are lowered, and its front two legs extended as if caught in the moment springing forward. The artist’s palette of black, beige, and grey conveys a dark and tense atmosphere.
