Multicolored painting of geometric shapes intersecting and overlapping in a circular flow.

Festival in Montmartre, 1913

Gino Severini

An abstract painting in greens and blues shows many small, card- or brick-like squares and rectangles merging at bottom and encroaching upon the center from the sides, like a wall trying to close itself, or a wall opening. Beyond these shapes is the suggestion of a hazy green sky with clouds and perhaps more shapes.

A colorful, lively scene, fragmented and abstracted, of numerous people on wooden floor, rolling green hills behind them. Figures include a nude woman on a bed, an aproned woman with bucket, and man with a long white beard. A figure on the hill at top right does a cartwheel or handstand.

Around the Void II (Alrededor del vacio II), 1965

Sunlight, c. 1913

Richard E. Miller

A rather stark, clean-lined painting shows a fireplace mantle topped with a clock against a bare wall with wood paneling. From the back wall of the fireplace, a black locomotive emerges, belching smoke and riding an unseen track in the the air.

These objects are vividly painted within a V-shaped fragment at center. Muted, shadowlike versions of the objects appear outside it. The outline of the guitar is repeated in the V in brown, green, blue, and black alongside a fragment of brown floral wallpaper.
