  • London, Large Thames View I, 1926

    Oskar Kokoschka

    London, Large Thames View I
  • Rue de village à Marlotte (Village Street in Marlotte), 1866

    Alfred Sisley

    This horizontally oriented canvas features a loosely painted rural scene of several old stone houses and a dirt road running between them. Tall trees rise above behind the roofs. The grey and somber light that pervades the scene overall streams from a cloudy sky in the top quarter of the canvas. In the painting’s middle ground, a human figure wearing a blue shirt and light-colored trousers raises an axe above his head in order to chop a large branch at his feet.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Nude Figure, late spring 1910

    Pablo Picasso

    The contours of a figure gradually emerge from a field of muted browns, grays, and greens applied with visible brushstrokes. Dark lines partially divide the background into a patchwork of loosely defined geometric forms. Similar lines more concretely define the figure, who appears largely in profile with one arm raised behind her head.
