Curated lists
Routes through the collection
Each list is written like a wall text: a claim, a route, and four or five painters who prove it. Save one and it lives on your profile.
Four rooms · 4 artists
Instead of Picasso, start here
Some of Cubism's most rigorous conclusions were drawn in Moscow and Paris by women who are rarely hung beside him. This route moves from fractured plane to pure colour, and ends with the geometry that walked off the canvas and into a factory.
Early abstraction · 5 artists
Abstraction's other beginnings
This list opens in a Stockholm studio in 1906, and follows the line through Munich, Moscow and postwar New York. Five painters who built non-objective painting and were filed under 'also present'.
Looking back · 4 artists
The nude, painted from the other side
What changes when the person who was looked at picks up the brush? Four painters who worked as models, mothers or patients before they worked as authors of the body, and painted it without flattery.
Mexico City, 1943 · 3 artists
