  • Verbal Description: This abstract print is reminiscent of a landscape, the colors gradate from blue at the top, down to green at the bottom. Two large, mint green triangles jut out just below the center of the print, reaching across from the left side and stopping just before the right. A large, light blue, ribbony shape, akin to rolling hills or mountain tops, moves all the way across the top third of the composition.

  • Verbal Description: This cartoon-like print is almost monochromatic, with everything in neutral shades of white, tan, and gray. It shows six people dressed in white jackets paddling a canoe towards the right side of the composition. The figures are navigating through icy waters with flocks of birds flying all around. The birds are small and simplistically drawn with a white oval for bellies and gray wings that almost look like heart-shapes. The still, gray water is framed by zigzagged lines of white ice. One large M-shaped ice chunk sits just in front of the back side of the canoe. The canoers all have brown skin and dark hair. They appear to be happy, with thin, upturned lines for mouths, and eyes that are squinted from the large smiles. Describing the canoers moving from left to right: At the very back of the canoe, one person stands up, perched on the back deck, exposing speckled gray pants; the next three people make up a triangular formation, with the two on the closet side seated and paddling, and the back person standing up between them; the next person is standing, lifting the paddle up and to their shoulder, like a shot gun pointed up at the birds; the last person is on the further side of the canoe, paddling. Poking out at the front of the canoe are two silver spears and about three birds that look like they have been freshly caught, with their bloated bellies and feet sticking straight up.

  • Verbal Description: This color photograph centers two dark brown seals laying on a broken ice field, a dark blue sea barely visible between the cracks. The seals are positioned in a diagonal line, with their tails coming together at the middle of the ice piece they’re floating on. The seal on the left’s body opens towards the upper left corner, but they turn and face back, almost peering at the viewer. The seal on the right stares straight ahead, towards the bottom right corner.

  • Verbal Description: This is a cubist-like still life. The point of view is looking down on to a surface covered by a white tablecloth. The arrangement closest to the viewer has orange fruit in a silver-stemmed serving dish. To the right of this dish, on the table, are three pieces of citron fruit. Two are bright yellow and the middle one is lime green. A tall, brass candle holder with a short white taper stands behind the dish, nearly reaching the top of the canvas. The holder is tiered, and each section is the shape of a hand weight. The background is divided nearly in half by the candle. On the left is a textured white, the right side is a patchy tan. A sharp boomerang shape in teal separates the tablecloth and the background on the right side.

  • Verbal Description: This print is one of three in a series of portraits, each showing a different perspective of the same figure on a nickel-colored background. The figure is shown from the chest up. He has black skin that is peppered with small, white clusters of linear patterns, resembling the texture of muscle fibers. He presents male, with short, tightly curled black hair and closely cropped facial hair along his chin. The viewer’s perspective is slightly above the figure, looking down at his head. He is positioned at an angle, with his left shoulder cut off and the top of his head reaching about two-thirds of the way up the composition. He has a neutral expression and stare straight ahead, facing the bottom left corner. The only color comes from his thin, crimson necklace that ends beneath his shirt and the gold leaf that outlines his white, ribbed, scooped tank top.
