  • Reclining Figure, 1935-1936

    Henry Moore

    This wooden sculpture could abstractly resemble a reclining female body. The dark brown wood is polished to reveal the wood grain and knots throughout the form. The figure’s legs seem to be gently bent, and she appears to be resting on her elbows, with her head propped upright. The artist left the torso as an empty space, allowing viewers to see through the sculpture.

Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Janet, 1992

    Chuck Close

    This large-scale portrait is painted in grayscale with a nearly all black background. A grid pattern covers the entire surface, and diamonds, ovals, circles, and other geometric shapes fill each square. From a distance, these patterned coalesce into a woman’s face and upper shoulders; the effect is similar to a pixelated photograph. The woman has short hair, cat-eyed glasses, dangly earrings, and she wears a shirt with a rounded collar.
  • 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.
  • Frauenbildnis (Portrait of a Woman), 1911

    Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

    A black woman in a blue hat and coat of matching color over a brown skirt and white, high-necked blouse stands at the center of this painting. She appears to be standing up from a red-back chair, her left arm extended against an almost neon green form in the background. The bottom portion of a painting depicting nude figures in a landscape is visible behind her head, and the corner of a table covered with a light blue tablecloth fills the bottom right corner of the canvas.
  • 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.
  • Vega-Nor, 1969

    Victor Vasarely

    A brightly colored grid stands out in sharp contrast against the dark blue and green background of this large-scale square painting. At the center of the work, the artist distorted the grid to create the optical illusion of a large spherical shape bulging out of this flat surface.
  • Ocean Park No. 66, 1973

    Richard Diebenkorn

    Ocean Park No. 66
  • Tanktotem IV, 1953

    David Smith

    A series of three-dimensional geometric forms balance on two forked legs in the front and a third leg in the back. Overall, the sculpture abstractly mimics the human form: a vertical half circle at the top serves as a head and is connected to the rest of the work by a long vertical rectangle that resembles a neck. Two additional long rectangles at the center of the work sit alongside further half circles that resemble a shoulder and two hips.
  • Sun and Rocks, 1918-1950

    Charles Ephraim Burchfield

    Sun and Rocks
  • 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.
