Antonio de Pereda - Allegory of Transience [c.1634]
A winged angel embodies this vanitas, the memory of the transience of everything earthly. In front of the angel, objects are arranged in baroque abundance in a still-life manner, which point to the rapidly dwindling time, the nullity of power and the fleeting nature of the pleasures of life. The tabletop bears the inscription ‘nil omne’ (everything is void).

Frank Stella - Grey Scramble IX (Single) [1968-69]
“The Concentric Squares created a pretty high, pretty tough pictorial standard. Their simple, rather humbling effect – almost a numbing power – became a sort of ‘control’ against which my increasing tendency in the seventies to be extravagant could be measured.”

Ivan Kliun - Spherical Suprematism [c.1920-24]
Kliun (1873 - 1943) was a leading light of the Russian avant-garde, friend of Malevich and pioneer of non-objective art. This artist who started out closely allied to the orbit of Malevich’s Suprematism, eventually sought entirely new directions of his own. His spherical constructions, severely criticised by Malevich as a step backward, were years ahead of their time. Rivals, equals, combatants, close friends, Kliun and Malevich maintained a weekly correspondence for decades up until Malevich’s death.

Boris Dmitrievich Girgoriev - Children [1923]
Portraiture was one of Boris Dmitrievich Girgoriev’s great strengths. He started to work in the genre while still in Russia, at first painting his family, wife and son, and friends, the bohemian set of St Petersburg and Moscow. In emigration, post-1919, his circle of sitters widened substantially to include fellow exiles and many foreign admirers of his work. This portrait of twin-sisters, the children of the artist Florence Cane and the poet and lawyer Melville Henry Cane, was painted by Grigoriev very quickly in October and November of 1923, during his first visit to the USA.

Louis Marie de Schryver - Flower Market on the Île de la Cité, Paris
Here, de Schryver takes as his subject two chic young women carefully selecting blossoms from an open-air flower market in an elegant square. The profusion of different flowers on offer is complimented by the artist’s skilful rendering of the backlit pink parasol of the woman in the background and the play of light on the layered light-yellow ribbons on the hat of the woman in the foreground, as these elements echo the shape and colour palette of the flowers themselves. The horse-drawn carriage passing in the background gives the painting a charmingly anecdotal, observed quality which is a hallmark of the artist’s best work.

Alex Katz - Blue Umbrella [1972]
Calm and composed amidst slanting drops of rain, Ada Katz is here pictured close-up, her titular umbrella cropped at the margins of the canvas. She is as much the subject of the painting as her striking facial features and sartorial accessories: her pristine rose lips, her penetrating, almond-shaped eyes, and her stylish chiffon à la française are given extreme precision and detail, dominating the canvas as elements to be viewed independently.

Paul Cadmus - Sleeping Nude [1967]
"My personal sentimental favourite is my small Sleeping Nude. This tiny picture was begun, from one of my drawings, as a demonstration, to a young hopeful, of the technique of egg tempera painting...I found that I liked the commencement and stimulated, and perhaps fertilised, by bedtime book-looking, in particular Ingres and his Odalisques, I decided to continue and finish it. Unlike most of my paintings, this one is mostly painted directly from life, the model as used in the drawing being available at the time, as well as my furniture."

Jean Bernard Restout - Sleep [c.1771]
The tradition of painting nude male figures in a studio setting was the cornerstone of artistic practice, teaching artists to depict the human body in complex poses in order to create larger narratives. However, by the late 1700s, some artists began to see these studies as independent works of art. By adding the wings and the poppies, Restout (French, 1732 - 1797) transformed his study into a more specific subject, and he first exhibited the work in a privately organised exhibition in 1783 under the title of Morpheus, the god of sleep.
