Figures within a crowded room

Two Women in the Cloakroom surrounds the figures with clothing, furniture and reflective surfaces. The vertical arrangement and interlocking curves keep the eye moving between bodies and objects. Other performer and circus subjects vary the balance between a single figure and an active setting.

The tabletop as a compact arrangement

Still Life with Coffee Pot, Currants and Fruit brings pale forms and dark vessels close together within an upright composition. Strong edges and shifting tones make the objects feel substantial despite the compressed space. Compare other arrangements through still-life art.

The built landscape and its lines

Underpass in Ulm sets the dark opening beneath a horizontal bridge against pale road surfaces and nearby structures. Its long receding lines give the outdoor subject a different movement from the crowded interiors. Other landscapes extend the collection into rocks, trees and southern settings.
