美術館のキャプション Gerhard Richter based this painting on a 1978 photograph he took of his daughter Betty when she was 11 years old. The girl's position is partially posed, but also spontaneous as she turns away from the viewer. Richter combines th

    • トム・ウェッセルマン(Tom Wesselmann)作『Smoker #9』

      美術館のキャプション Smoker #9 isolates a model's sensual mouth, removing it from a social context and even from her body. The painting's slick surface looks like a billboard advertisement. In the 1960s and 70's, advertising campaigns promoting smoki

        美術館のキャプション A bouquet of yellow roses is set on a marble table against a dark ground. The flowers are shown full-blown, just at the moment when their lush, open petals have begun to drop. The intense drama of the painting results from the co

          美術館のキャプション Painted during Torres-García's brief yet critical stay in Paris between 1926 and 1932, Cafe Riche, Paris evokes the sights and sensations of street life in the French capital through incredibly minimal, semi-abstract means. Durin

          美術館のキャプション Limited to two colors on shaped wood, Neoconcrete Relief diverges from the traditional format and function of a painting as a rectangular canvas on which figures or shapes are depicted. Instead, it asserts itself three-dimensiona

          美術館のキャプション The terra-cotta shades and heaviness of the figures in Two Nudes derive from Picasso's interest at the time in the ancient Iberian sculpture of his native Spain. These two women are nearly mirror images, but the face of the figur
