  • Flood, 2007

    Barnaby Furnas

    Long, thick, horizontal strokes of paint ranging in hue from black to bright magenta span the pale blue background of this abstract painting. In the upper right corner, the background emerges behind a light spray and thin drips of red paint. A faint white vertical line, like a narrow beam of light, stretches from the center of the canvas’s top toward the bottom but is quickly subsumed under the horizontal strokes.
  • L'Ambitieuse (Political Woman), 1883-1885

    James Tissot

    A woman in an elaborately ruffled pink dress with a large feathered fan enters an ornately decorated ballroom filled with party-goers on the arm of a much older gentleman. She looks left and outward beyond the viewer, while the attention of nearly all other male figures in the scene is directed at her. The textures of various surfaces and fabrics are painted with rich detail and texture, especially the pink dress ruffles gathered on a plush red ottoman at the bottom of the frame.

  • The Holstein Manifesto, 2008

    Matthew Ritchie

    Black, vine-like tendrils cover much of a large white wall. These are interrupted to the left of center by a large painting featuring more of the tendrils overlaid with abstract washes of copper and taupe paint. On the right side, the tendrils coalesce in a large sphere encircled by the phrases “division of the heavens,” “division of the waters,” “division of the bodies,” and “M theory” in cursive. On the floor in front of the wall rests a long, tube of perforated aluminum surrounded by Tarot cards.
  • Infvitabile Fatvm, 1994

    Leon Golub

    Much of this canvas, especially the top portion, is covered in rough patches of thinly applied black and red paint. A white mark extending from the top of the canvas divides it roughly in half; the black paint appears on the left side and the red on the right. This white mark also bisects the work’s title as inscribed in white paint along the top edge. The torso of a man, who appears to be suspended by his upstretched arms, appears in the bottom left.
  • 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.
