    Honoré Daumier

    Une Laveuse au Quai d'Anjou (Laundress on the Quai d'Anjou)
  • 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.
  • Le Bassin du Jas de Bouffan (The Pool at Jas de Bouffan), ca. 1878-1879

    Paul Cézanne

    Similarly short, distinct brushstrokes coalesce into the trees and shallow, walled pool that fill this landscape. A thin-trunked tree with light-dappled yellow-green foliage fills much of the left side of the canvas. Behind the tree, a low sandy colored wall contains a shallow, rectangular pool of water. Additional trees with darker green leaves line the right edge of the pool, extending to the upper edge of the canvas.
  • Synchromy in Orange: To Form, 1913-1914

    Morgan Russell

    A vibrant array of colorful geometric forms abut and overlap one another in the abstract kaleidoscopic patterning that covers this large, vertically oriented canvas. The colors range from red, blue, green, and orange, to pink, black, maroon, and white. A thin red painted line separates the bulk of the composition from a border of red, yellow, blue, and green rectangles alternating with white.
  • Karma, 2010

    Do Ho Suh

    Against the white marbled columned exterior of the museum, a life-size muscular male nude, his arms hanging down on either side of his body, stands upright on a metal base. Sitting on his shoulders are a series of identical male nudes squatting one on top of the another, each one smaller than the one below. Each figure holds his hands over the eyes of the figure beneath him.
  • June 4-52 (tableform), 1952

    Ben Nicholson

    A series of roughly rectangular shapes of pale blue, green, yellow, and white layer over and under each other across the surface of this portrait-oriented oil painting. A loose geometric patterning in thin black pencil overlays some of the shapes near the bottom center. A small, bright red triangle pops out from near the bottom left corner.
  • Saw and Sawed, 1969

    Neil Jenney

    A chainsaw with a long, gray rounded blade and yellow motor marked with the letter M just above its handle rests in a field of dark green brushstrokes evocative of thick grass between a section of newly cut tree trunk is lying on its side on the left and a short, brown tree stump on the right. A black border runs around the image, and the words SAW AND SAWED appear in white capital letters at bottom center.
