Color

I like the color in both these works by twentieth-century American artists --

  • Imperial Valley in Imperial County near Karboul Mounds, California, 1966, Joseph E. Yoakum (colored pencil and ballpoint pen on paper) (larger version)

  • Train in Coal Town, 1968, by Jack Savitsky (large version)

    Rabbi of Vitebsk

    Here's one of my lifelong favorites, here called "The Praying Jew" but sometimes also known as the Rabbi of Vitebsk, by Marc Chagall (1923 copy of a 1914 work).

    Bluebonnets

    The website for the Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, is modest but has some nice surprises.  In particular, I liked A Cloudy Day, Bluebonnets near San Antonio, Texas, 1918, by Julian Onderdonk.
