  • La Flèche (The Arrow), 1919

    Fernand Léger

    Delicate marks in black ink and watercolor fill this white paper. Slightly to the left of the center is a square road sign with a white, left-facing arrow on a black background. The imagery surrounding this sign fluctuates between abstract and representational. Fragmented symbols, beams, and pipes emerge from planar surfaces and angular contours. Multiple repetitive lines and angles evoke movement, suggesting an industrial environment, such as a railroad crossing.

  • Round Trip, 1957

    Helen Frankenthaler

    Round Trip
  • La Maison de La Crau (The Old Mill), 1888

    Vincent van Gogh

    Loose thick brushstrokes in a vibrant palette define a rural scene beneath a turquoise green sky. On the right is a tall sandy colored building with a yellow roof and brownish-red chimney. Steps leads from the structure toward the left-hand side of the image, where, two people stand in front of a purple fence. Beyond the fence and toward the upper left of the image are green fields dotted with small houses and blue mountains in the far distance.
  • The Tree, 1965

    Agnes Martin

    On a square white canvas, artist Agnes Martin drew by hand a dense grid using graphite pencil. When seen up close, minor irregularities in the grid, including the straightness of the lines and spacing between them, are visible. From a distance, the faint lines of the grid appear to blend into the white canvas.
  • Dinamismo di un cane al guinzaglio (Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash), 1912

  • Dialogue I, 1960

    Adolph Gottlieb

    A rectangular white canvas sits horizontally. In the top-right corner, there is a large black circle; a large red circle of roughly equal size is adjacent to the black dot, toward the center of the canvas. Beneath these dots are energetic and erratic swirls of black paint with splatter and drips on their edges.
  • L'Age d'Airain (Age of Bronze), 1875-1876 (cast executed 1911)

    Auguste Rodin

    This life-sized, muscular nude is captured as if in mid-stride, with his right hand raised to clasp his scalp and his left hand raised in a fist. His mouth is open, and his facial features contorted in what appears to be pain or anger.
  • 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.
