Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Portrait de Mlle Rose Caron (Portrait of Rose Caron), ca. 1892

    Edgar Degas

    A woman wearing a low-cut pink evening dress and elbow-length gloves sits at the center of this horizontally oriented painting. What appears to be a multicolored furred or feathered garment rests on the back of her red chair. Her face, oriented left, is largely obscured by shadow. She clutches a folded fan in her right hand and adjusts the top of her left hand. The entire scene is loosely painted in a palette dominated by dark greens and yellows.
  • 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.
  • Women of Tehuantepec, 1939

    Rufino Tamayo

    Two solemn-looking women, one carrying a basket of fruit on her head, stand in center of this colorful, horizontally oriented canvas. Behind them and to the left are three large containers filled with tropical fruit, some of which is also scattered on the ground. Behind them and to the right are two more women walking toward a long, low building in the background. A young boy in the right corner extends with his left hand a bunch of flowers toward the two central women.
  • 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.
  • Le Matin en Provence (Morning in Provence), ca. 1900-1906

    Paul Cézanne

    Similarly short, distinct brushstrokes primarily in cool shades of green and blue coalesce into a sketchily painted landscape; portions of the canvas are visible. A light green field fills much of the bottom third of the canvas, and the sky above, while largely blue, also includes some green areas. A slender, leafless tree rises from the left edge of the field and curves at its top toward the right and downward. A small, light brown house sits on the right edge of the field.
  • Die Wölfe (Balkankrieg) [The Wolves (Balkan War)], 1913

    Franz Marc

    Die Wölfe (Balkankrieg) [The Wolves (Balkan War)]
  • Wehgeweihtes Kind (Child Consecrated to Suffering), 1935

    Paul Klee

    Wehgeweihtes Kind (Child Consecrated to Suffering)
  • The Transparent Simulacrum of the Feigned Image, 1938

    Salvador Dalí

    The Transparent Simulacrum of the Feigned Image
  • Orange Crush, 1963

    Larry Poons

    Light blue polka dots randomly pepper the solidly orange-colored surface of this large square canvas. Neat rows of six or seven dots line the painting’s edges. The contrast between the vibrant orange and pale blue creates an optical effect that makes it appear as if the blue dots are vibrating.
