Two women sit close together on the ground amid dense, oversized leaves that press around them like a living backdrop. The woman at left faces us directly. She has dark hair parted at the center, small red earrings, a pale blue blouse, and a deep plum skirt. In her arms, she cradles a long orange squash, while several pale cut rounds of squash lie on the earth in front of the pair. The woman at right turns in profile toward her companion. She wears a vivid red-orange blouse and a dark skirt, her black hair pulled back smoothly. Both figures are built from rounded, weighty forms, with broad hands, strong forearms, and calm, self-contained expressions. Both women are painted with medium-to-deep brown skin tones, and American artist Lucretia Van Horn gives that brownness a warm, solid presence rather than treating it as incidental detail. The painting compresses space so that the women and the surrounding plants seem almost pressed against the picture surface, giving the scene an intimate yet monumental stillness. That sculptural stillness is part of the painting’s power. Van Horn does not treat these women as decorative types. She gives them gravity, dignity, and presence. JLW’s artist essay notes that “Two Women with a Squash” reflects the impact of Diego Rivera and other Mexican muralists on her work, especially in its flattened space, simplified modeling, and sympathetic treatment of women in a natural setting. Van Horn, born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1882 and later active in Berkeley’s modernist circles, had studied in New York and Paris before travel in Mexico reshaped her art. She assisted Rivera, absorbed his monumental approach to the human figure, and translated that influence into her own language. Here, sustenance, land, and womanhood are bound together as the squash is not just a still-life detail, but a sign of bodily nourishment, rural labor, and continuity with the earth.

This painting marked a turning point for American artist Amy Sherald in 2018, just after the national attention surrounding her portrait of Michelle Obama. It was the first work she made after that historic commission and one of the first in which her imagined world opened into a full landscape. Sherald said she had wanted for years to place figures in an open field, and the rocket arrived as a symbol of “unlimited potential,” but also as something coded in American culture as white and male. Here, she reclaims that symbolic space. Two young Black women stand barefoot in a wide field of dry yellow grass, seen mostly from behind as they hold hands. The woman at right turns her head back toward us, with a calm, direct, slightly questioning gaze. The other looks forward toward a rocket launch in the distance. Sherald paints both figures in her signature grayscale rather than naturalistic skin color, while their clothing carries vivid life. The woman on the left wears a white shirt with a high-waisted blue skirt. The other wears a striped dress in bright bands of pink, orange, yellow, and green, with a white bow at her hair. At the far left, a rocket lifts into the sky, its plume running almost like a vertical white scar or beacon beside them. The horizon sits low, making the sky feel immense and the figures quietly monumental. The two sitters were not celebrities but women Sherald met through a Baltimore school community, one a teacher and one a graduate, which matters. Everyday Black life, not spectacle, is the center of the picture. Their joined hands suggest solidarity, intimacy, and shared witness. The title stretches between machinery and mystery as well as between earthly limits and mental freedom. Sherald turns the “spaces in between” into a zone of dreaming, self-possession, and possibility for an image of Black womanhood not under scrutiny, but already sovereign.

Canadian artist Prudence Heward turns a familiar social scene into something psychologically charged. A pair of women are not decorative accessories on a gentleman’s evening out. They occupy public space on their own terms. That matters in 1928. The theatre becomes a modern arena of female independence, spectatorship, and self-possession, where women go not only to watch but also to be visible. Two young women sit side by side before a performance begins, seen from just behind, as if we occupy a row directly behind them. Their bare upper backs and necks catch a soft, creamy light that stands out against the dark theatre. Both wear black evening dresses cut low across the shoulders. The woman at left has a smooth, simple back, while the woman at right wears a dress with a sheer patterned panel that curls across the fabric in pale loops. Their chestnut-brown hair is parted and gathered into low, polished buns. The woman on the right turns slightly, her cheek and nose visible in profile as she holds a white program in one hand. Around them, other audience members dissolve into shadowy shapes. Deep red seat backs curve across the foreground with a midnight-blue garment partially over the right seat, while cool blue-gray walls rise in broad vertical bands on the stage. The museum notes that the sitters may be Marion and Elizabeth Robertson, the sisters of Beaver Hall Group artist Sarah Robertson, which adds an intimate, almost insider quality to the scene. Heward had returned from Paris only a short time earlier and was developing the bold, sculptural style that would make her one of Canada’s most incisive painters of women. Contemporary critics reduced the picture to “a study of décolleté,” but another praised its “originality” and “vigour.” That tension is still the point. The painting acknowledges the social gaze, yet refuses to flatten these women into spectacle. They feel alert, self-contained, and modern to be present in the crowd, but not absorbed by it.

Thai artist Jiab Prachakul is a compelling figurative painter because she makes quiet moments feel cinematic without turning them into melodrama. Born in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, trained first in film, and self-taught as a painter, she often builds paintings from memory, photographs, friendship, and the emotional weather of diasporic life. This scene grew from time spent in Sauzon, Belle-Île-en-Mer, and its mood is about the charged space between people who know each other well. In bright coastal daylight, two women crouch on a pale quay beside still blue water. The woman at left turns away from us, her short dark bob and clear glasses outlined against the sky. She wears a loose white top and white trousers with dark socks and heavy black boots, her posture compact and inward. At right, a second woman in a sheer black top and dark cropped trousers crouches on the balls of her feet, also in sturdy black boots. Her blunt fringe and lightened hair ends catch the sun. Hoop earrings and sharply modeled cheekbones add to her alert, stylish presence. Between them, her hands extend forward and folding over one another. To their left are two wine glasses. A small boat drifts at left, while a lighthouse sits at the end of a long breakwater. Gold sparks of reflected sunlight skip across the water as the women’s shadows stretch behind them. The title promises easy intimacy, but the painting gives something subtler: companionship with room for privacy, glamour edged with thoughtfulness, and closeness that does not erase individuality. Prachakul’s attention to clothing, pose, and gesture makes identity feel lived rather than symbolic. The lighthouse and harbor suggest navigation, pause, and emotional bearings. This work also expands who inhabits contemporary painting with elegance, sensitivity, and psychological depth. It is not just a picture of two stylish women by the sea. It is a study in how relationships can be tender, self-possessed, and slightly mysterious all at once.

Something’s wrong underground. Collage inspired by the atmosphere of Van Helsing, but I wanted more grit, more danger. So I built my vision.

A woman in a red dress and blue cloak, seated with a crown of thorns on her right knee. She leans her left cheek on her left elbow, looking sorrowful. Her right hand is held out, palm forward. At her right - the viewer's left - two cherubs hold up a wooden cross, as a third cherub looks on from below. There is an angel behind the wall at the woman's left (the viewer's right; and in the lower right corner, a 4th cherub, kneeling in front of a placard that says "INRI." Some nails are scattered on the ground in front of the cherub, who holds its right hand to its right eye as though wiping tears.
