  • Robert Motherwell began to experiment with collageunder the supervision of Surrealist artist Roberto Matta and at the encouragement of legendary arts patron and collector Peggy Guggenheim. The rich tan, brown, and black tones form Motherwell's signature deep color palette. The artist's approach to collage combines found elements with a gestural application of paint, a unique style rooted in historical movements such as Cubism, Dada, and Surrealism yet engaged in a creative dialogue with the contemporaneous movement of Abstract Expressionism.

  • Henry Koerner, Joan Nursing Stephanie, 1954

    Henry Koerner

    Joan Nursing Stephanie, 1954

    Henry Koerner's Joan Nursing Stephanie reveals an elaborate new mode of expression that evolved out of the artist's earlier Magic Realist style toward an Impressionist approach defined by fluid brushwork and painted from life. Koerner's experiments in watercolor in 1953-55 led to the development of a light palette that characterizes his paintings of the period, of which the present work is one of the earliest examples.

  • Günther Förg, Untitled, 1988

    Günther Förg

    Untitled, 1988

    The quintet Untitled from 1988 is a prime example of Gu¨nther Fo¨rg’s precision and commitment to painting within the boundaries of his methodology. It exhibits contrasting monochromatic sections of quickly brushed-on acrylic paint, bisecting the composition of each panel. Space acts as the central character: the space between color—or lack thereof; the space between paintings side-by-side in sequence; even the space between perception and meaning asks to be accounted for.

  • Manierre Dawson, Madonna, 1911

    Manierre Dawson

    Madonna, 1911

    Madonna is characteristic of Manierre Dawson's "Cubist Transliterations," a term coined by art historian Mary Mathews Gedo for a group of figurative paintings Dawson created in 1911-12. The paintings appropriate subjects from historical European masterworks Dawson would have seen during his six-month European tour in 1910. In the present example, Dawson deftly reinterpreted the central figure of Leonardo da Vinci's Virgin of the Rocks (c. 1491-1508; The National Gallery, London).
