Jan van Huysum’s lasting fame centers on his exuberant arrangements and technical virtuosity. More than any other artist before or after, he was able to capture the dynamic energy of a profuse array of flowers and fruit.
Houston, 2000: 50-51, repro. 2004 Hand, John Oliver.
Around the turn of the 17th century, a number of Flemish painters presented sumptuous tabletop still lifes to delight the viewer, and none surpassed Osias Beert. The carefully crafted objects and expensive delicacies that he depicted celebrate a world of abundance and beauty in a style that shows off Beert’s mastery of textural effects and realistic detail.
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; Cleveland Museum of Art, 1999: 73-85. 2004 Hand, John Oliver
A play and a painting appear to have merged in Jan van Eyck’s dramatic Annunciation , which is rich with Christian symbolism. The rainbow-winged archangel Gabriel tells the Virgin Mary that God has chosen her to bear his son.
New York, 1985: 103-104, fig. 103. 1986 Hand, John Oliver and Martha Wolff.
In One Year the Milkweed , one of several so-called color veil paintings Gorky made in 1944, films of paint have been washed unevenly across the canvas, and evocative but indistinct forms have been brushed in. Overall green and brown hues suggest a landscape, but there are no identifiable landscape forms and no spatial recession.

Ellsworth Kelly realized his first abstractions during his stay in France from 1948 to 1954. In these extremely productive years, he created a body of work whose refinement of line, form, and color remains the fundamental language of his art.
du Jeu de Paume, Paris, 1992: 145, 174, no. 89, color pl. 85. 2004 Hand, John Oliver
The title „Improvisations“ refers to a series of works that Kandinsky painted between 1909 and 1913 which was, according to the artist, „a largely unconscious, spontaneous expression of inner character, non-material nature.“

New York, 1990: 127, fig. 144. 2004 Hand, John Oliver.

Boston, 1940: 69. 1967 Oliver, Andrew. Portraits of John and Abigail Adams.
Despite its meticulous draftsmanship and precise detail, Lane’s work is far more than a simple inventory of harbor activity. The diminutive figures and carefully rendered vessels remain secondary to the vast expanse of sky, where shimmering light creates a tranquil, idyllic mood.
Washington, D.C., 1996: 412-415, color repro. 2004 Hand, John Oliver.
