Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • 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.
  • Alpha, 1960

    Morris Louis

    Stripes of orange, black, yellow, blue, and red stream from the left and right sides of this large, horizontally oriented abstract painting. The stripes are thickest near the top of the canvas and grow thinner as they reach the bottom. A large expanse of raw canvas yawns between these colored passages.
  • Époque des forêts (Age of Forests), 1926

  • Sun and Rocks, 1918-1950
