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.

Bellows taught at the Art Students League in New York City, where Peggy Bacon and many other artists studied with him. In this print, Bacon includes her own self-portrait immediately to the right of the easel. Bacon and Bellows both lived in Woodstock in the 1920s, where Bacon and her husband, Alexander Brook, published the satirical weekly The Woodstock Hue and Cry in 1923.
