    Gouache and ink on mat board by Adja Yunkers, signed and dated 1958 on verso. An early work from Yunkers's Abstract Expressionist period, when he was married to art critic Dore Ashton and was part of the circle that congregated at Cedar Tavern.

  • Sublime Expressionist Blue White and Teal Village Landscape Painting with Boat
    By Edvard Munch
    Located in Chattanooga, TN

One wonders what she is thinking. Is she gazing with a sense of longing? Is she coming or going? She doesn't seem to be poised for action, rather contemplating her next move. The village seems semi-rural. Power lines...
