Painting
e. e. cummings painted many self portraits throughout his life. This one was probably included in the first of his two Memorial Art Gallery exhibitions, which opened on June 8, 1945. A notation on the back of the painting -June 5, 1945 - suggests that it was a last-minute addition to the exhibition!

Painting
Originally from Rochester, the painter and writer Douglas Gorsline attended the Art Students League in New York City and taught at the National Academy of Design. He was profoundly influenced by the artistic styles of cubism and realism. He tended to use fragmented compositions as a means of depicting reality, in particular reality combined with movement.

Painting
John Koch was a master of the tradition of American realism. His warm, intimate, and elegant New York City interiors glow with light that is reflected by well-polished furniture, floors, and silver.
In this painting, the artist’s wife (piano teacher Dora Zaslavsky) offers a cup of tea to the nude artist’s model, while the artist sits in the background and contemplates his canvas. A variation on the theme of artists and models, Interlude also is an expression of the generosity of human relationships. As one of Zaslavsky’s former students wrote, “…her philosophy of care and concern for the individual student helps shape my teaching to this day.”

Painting
Throughout his career, Jerome Witkin’s dedication to the human form has never wavered. In "Breaking the Pose," Witkin captures the activities within an artist’s studio at a specific moment in time. A figurative painter’s reliance upon a nude model is made evident here, as two women pose for the artist. Modeled after Diego Velasquez’s 1656 portrait of the royal family of Spain, Las Meninas, Witkin elevates the goings on of an artist’s studio and makes a connection across the centuries to one of the most successful and revered Old Master figure painters.
Similarities between the two works include the presence of the canvas and the artist; multiple subjects, all of whom appear to be momentarily distracted by visitors; and the reflections in a mirrored background that extend the scene and pique the viewer’s interest.
