Forty-two Kids by George Bellows

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/134485-forty-two-kids

Painted in August 1907, Forty-two Kids depicts a band of nude and partially clothed boys engaged in a variety of antics—swimming, diving, sunbathing, smoking, and possibly urinating—on and near a dilapidated wharf jutting out over New York City’s East River. A sharp observer of urban life, George Bellows has sketched his streetwise subjects with characteristic vigor and economy of means, and he has carefully rendered their varied ethnic backgrounds.

The Aero by Marsden Hartley

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/52382-aero

Completed in 1914, The Aero may have been the painting that Marsden Hartley described in a letter to his dealer, Alfred Stieglitz, the previous year: “I have one canvas ‘Extase d’Aéroplane’ if it must have a title—it is my notion of the possible ecstasy or soul state of an aéroplane if it could have one.� The artist was thrilled when he saw zeppelins, or huge airships, flying overhead.

Classic Landscape by Charles Sheeler

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/105596-classic-landscape

Charles Sheeler was a master of both painting and photography, and his work in one medium influenced and shaped his work in the other.[1] In 1927, he was commissioned to photograph the Ford Motor Company’s new River Rouge Plant near Detroit. Then the world’s largest industrial complex, employing more than 75,000 workers, the plant produced Ford’s Model A, successor to the famed Model T.

Portrait of a Woman Aged Sixty by Frans Hals

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/74-portrait-woman-aged-sixty

The strength and vitality of the people who helped establish the new Dutch Republic are nowhere better captured than in the work of Frans Hals, who was the preeminent portrait painter in Haarlem, the most important artistic center of Holland in the early part of the seventeenth century. This unidentified sitter—one of Hals’ most impressive portraits—was sixty years old when the painting was made, according to the artist’s inscription.
