The Toilers of the Sea (1880–1885), Albert Pinkham Ryder With his use of tonalism to evoke emotion in his otherworldly land and seascapes, Ryder was an idiosyncratic American artist who foreshadowed modernist ideas. In this piece, the ochre glow of the full moon casts its dramatic light

The Red Studio (1911), Henri Matisse A deep red painting of the artist's studio flattens the space, turning it into a canvas for creation. Furniture fades while the focus shifts to the act of painting itself. This work celebrates the studio and foreshadows abstract art.

Comet (1974), Ron Gorchov For some half a century, Ron Gorchov’s art has flown in the face of his contemporaries, most of whom insist on working with conventional two-dimensional canvases. Instead, Comet, like many of Gorchov’s sculpture-paintings, takes a vaguely saddle-like shape.

Christina’s World (1948) Andrew Wyeth Depending on whom you ask, Andrew Wyeth is either one of America’s greatest artists or a master of kitsch, and Christina’s World a portrait of Christina Olsen, Wyeth’s disabled neighbor in Maine is a tour de force of realist painting or an exercise in glib sentimentality.

Broadway Boogie Woogie (1942–43) Piet Mondrian Mondrian came to New York in 1940, fleeing the Nazi invasion of his native Holland. He died here four years later, and though he probably didn’t know it at the time, his brief sojourn would have a lasting, if delayed, impact on American art.

Jacob’s Ladder (1957), Helen Frankenthaler In the vibrant New York art scene of the 1950s, Frankenthaler developed her own brand of Abstract Expressionism, working on unprimed canvas placed directly on the floor and diluting her pigments with turpentine so they soaked into the canvas rather then rested upon it.

Drowning Girl (1963), Roy Lichtenstein The image, a crop from a panel in an early-’60s comic book titled Run for Love!, shows that Lichtenstein is in full command of his style, employing not only his well-known Ben-Day dots but also bold black lines corralling areas of deep blue. A complete stunner.—Howard Halle

The Persistence of Memory (1931), Salvador Dalí Dalí described his meticulously rendered works as “hand-painted dream photographs,” and the melted watches that make their appearance in this Surrealist masterpiece have become familiar symbols of that moment when reverie seems to uncannily invade the everyday.

She pictures herself in a chair, hair shorn, with her signature peasant blouse and skirt replaced by Rivera’s clothes, effectively transforming herself into her ex-husband’s likeness. Unsurprisingly, Kahlo remarried Rivera the following year, so this weirdly compelling painting. —Howard Halle

The painting Venus is a brazen depiction of sexual intercourse between the wave of water, which is the sperm, and its assault on the shell. Venus's erect stature and long hair are also erotically suggestive.
