The White Cloud, Head Chief of the Iowas by George Catlin

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/50655-white-cloud-head-chief-iowas

During the 1830s, traveling with fur company representatives, cavalry officers, and later alone on multiple western journeys, George Catlin gathered drawings, sketches, and notes that would allow him to create an “Indian Gallery”—a collection of more than 500 paintings of American Indians. By the end of the decade, he would be widely recognized as the most celebrated painter of America’s native people.

At the Water’s Edge by Paul Cezanne

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/53119-waters-edge

Cézanne’s work, especially landscape paintings, increasingly verged on abstraction in the artist’s last two decades. In this study of light and reflection, structures on the bank and on the river are simplified into geometric shapes that contrast with the organic lushness surrounding them.

The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew by Jusepe de Ribera

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/72037-martyrdom-saint-bartholomew

A popular subject in Counter–Reformation Italy and Spain, Ribera’s profoundly moving work portrays the apostle’s final moments before he is to be flayed alive. The viewer is meant to empathize with Bartholomew, whose body seemingly bursts through the surface of the canvas, and whose outstretched arms embrace a mystical light that illuminates his flesh.

Tiger by Ellsworth Kelly

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/75042-tiger

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.

Self-Portrait by Judith Leyster

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/37003-self-portrait

Here is Dutch artist Judith Leyster at her easel, taking a break from painting to engage with us. In what might be considered an early selfie, she leans her forearm on the chair and suspends her paintbrush in midair, as if she’ll turn back to the canvas in a moment.
