Deep into the Bushes...(SAIC Portfolio Swap - edition of 45), 2016

Derrick Woods-Morrow

Sculpture of a naked light-skinned woman with red nail polish and dark hair sitting in a bathtub of soapy water. She holds her breasts with both hands, her mouth open in a look of surprise. The rest of her face and head is not present in the work. A bright blue snorkel protrudes from the water between her legs.

Woman in Tub, 1988

Jeff Koons

Painting of a woman and an older white man holding a pitchfork, both seen from the waist up. They stand side by side with stern expressions, in front of a white house with a peaked roof.

American Gothic, 1930

Grant Wood

A graphic, grotesque painting of a balding, bug-eyed man with white hair and decaying flesh and open boils in dominant shades of gray and magenta, his clothing tattered and torn. Behind him, a crumbling home is suggested through objects and voids of space rendered in swirls of prismatic colors like those reflected by an oil slick: dark purples, greens, blues.

Picture of Dorian Gray, 1943–44

Ivan Albright

Woodcut of a man's face in profile, his gaze cast toward the lower-right corner of the print, which is darkened.

Maxwell Street, Chicago, from Yiddish Motifs, 1926

Todros Geller

Portrait of an older woman holding a mirror and makeup pad, sitting in a dark dressing room in a pink slip and a blue and red skirt. Her flesh is mottled and pasty white, its contours in dark shadows that make it appear almost bruised. She gazes to the left forlornly.

Above the Earth, 1953

Mark Tobey

Scene in a diner, viewed through wrap-around glass windows, at night on an empty urban street. A light-skinned man and woman, he in a suit and she in a red dress, sit together at a triangular wood bar, eyes downcast. At left sits another man, his back to the viewer. Behind the counter is a light-skinned man in a white uniform. The interior lights cast a yellow glow that spills onto the street in pale green. Above the diner a sign reads, "Phillies."

Nighthawks, 1942

Edward Hopper

Painting of a bone-white cow's skull directly centered in a vertical canvas, adorned with gray-white roses. The background behind the skull is similarly pale and appears to depict stone, a deep black gap between sheets of stone bisecting the painting from top to bottom.

Cow's Skull with Calico Roses, 1931

Georgia O'Keeffe

A white-toned, blocklike sculpture with rough areas and three highly polished nude figures emerging from the rough portions. In front, a mournful man and woman grasp tightly at each other's hands while from behind, another figure buries his head in his own crossed arms, the woman's upturned hand holding onto them.

The Solitude of the Soul, modeled in plaster 1901; sculpted in marble 1914
