  • Triptych with Footprints, 1970

    Antoni Tàpies

    Three vertical cream-colored panels are joined to form a long thin horizontal work. A series of footprints stretches across all three panels, slightly above their centers. On the left panel, gray cloudlike forms float at top and bottom, and a grouping of letters and lines stretch diagonally from the upper left-hand toward the center. A series of lines and waves fill the bottom half of the right panel.
  • Relief over Black Space, 1958

    Antoni Tàpies

    The majority of this portrait-oriented canvas is an uninterrupted expanse of matte black. In the bottom third of the canvas, a mixed-media element in shallow relief extends from the left edge. This element appears to have a bumpy, ridged texture in places. There are roughly defined and thinly applied patches of dark yellow-brown paint that appear to overlay the relief element.

  • Flood, 2007

    Barnaby Furnas

    Long, thick, horizontal strokes of paint ranging in hue from black to bright magenta span the pale blue background of this abstract painting. In the upper right corner, the background emerges behind a light spray and thin drips of red paint. A faint white vertical line, like a narrow beam of light, stretches from the center of the canvas’s top toward the bottom but is quickly subsumed under the horizontal strokes.
  • Untitled, 1986

    Olivier Mosset

    This large, horizontally oriented abstract painting is visually divided into two square portions. On the left, alternating red and purple stripes of the same width span the height of the canvas. On the right, stripes of the same color and size run horizontally from the right edge to the painting’s overall center. The lines formed by the stripes are very straight and even.
  • Attic Series VIII, 1990

    Robert Mangold

  • Dinamismo di un cane al guinzaglio (Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash), 1912

    Giacomo Balla

    Dinamismo di un cane al guinzaglio (Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash)
  • Secrets and Lies, 2009

    Gillian Wearing

    The three stills from this video work feature, from left to right: a figure wearing a mask with the features of a Caucasian woman, a shoulder-length blonde wig, and a denim shirt; a figure wearing a green-gray, gargoyle-like mask and a black tuxedo jacket and bowtie over a white shirt; and a figure wearing a mask with the features of an older Caucasian woman, a short brown wig, and a light blue, quarter-zip fleece.
  • La Vie paysanne (Peasant Life), 1925

    Marc Chagall

    La Vie paysanne (Peasant Life)
  • La Toilette, 1906

    Pablo Picasso

    La toilette
  • 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.
  • 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.
