  • The Holstein Manifesto, 2008

    Matthew Ritchie

    Black, vine-like tendrils cover much of a large white wall. These are interrupted to the left of center by a large painting featuring more of the tendrils overlaid with abstract washes of copper and taupe paint. On the right side, the tendrils coalesce in a large sphere encircled by the phrases “division of the heavens,” “division of the waters,” “division of the bodies,” and “M theory” in cursive. On the floor in front of the wall rests a long, tube of perforated aluminum surrounded by Tarot cards.

    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.
  • Le Vociférant (The Loud One), 1973

    Jean Dubuffet

    A number of small, irregularly shaped metal fragments are adhered together at various angles to form the contours of a vaguely humanoid figure. Each of these white fragments is heavily edged in black, and most of their interiors are filled with thin blue or red stripes; a small number of fragments are solid white, red, or blue. shape like a hand with three fingers and a thumb sticks out to the left side, midway down.
  • I Think So, 1938

    Yasuo Kuniyoshi

    This portrait features a Caucasian woman, nude to the waist, with shoulder-length brown hair and dark painted lips seen in three quarter view sitting on a chair. Her right arm rests on the top of the chair and is bent to bring her cigarette close to her head. A green-covered magazine is spread face-down across her lap. The pale figure is set in contrast with solid a rich salmon colored background.
  • Portrait (R. Eisch), 1999

    Thomas Ruff

    The head and shoulders of a white adult male with short brunette hair, blue eyes, and a reddish-brown goatee beard and moustache fill the majority of this large-scale color photograph. He wears a pale blue button-up shirt with a collar; the top-most button is left open. Minute details in the figure’s skin and shadows on the fabric are captured by the camera lens.
  • Music and Literature, 1878

    William Michael Harnett

  • La Musique, 1939

    Henri Matisse

    Two women look out toward the viewer from this brightly colored painting. The artist depicted these women using simple, flat shapes with dark outlines. The woman in a caramel colored dress at left sits on a floor cushion next to sheet music. The woman at right wears a marine blue jumpsuit with yellow triangles at the bottom of the legs. She has one foot on the floor and one on the couch on which she sits while playing guitar. A red tile floor contrasts with a black wall decorated with large green leaves.
