The Rock by Peter Blume (1944-48)

by
surrealist, cartoonish painting. At center on an earthen platform is a large object like the bottom of a pink broken egg, the inside being solid with cracks that look like an earthquake. around this object is a flurry of activity with human cartoon-like characters furiously building, on left, a large stone building with scaffolding, and on right are remnants of a stone house.

Livingroom, Sunlight Study by Vilhelm Hammershøi (1911)

by
Dimly-lit wall with white French doors on the right and a mahogany piano case to the left. High above the piano case is a landscape painting, and splayed on the wall and doors are squares of sunlight coming in from a window out of view.

In the Café by Fernand Lungren (1882-84)

by
Foreground left: woman in late 19th Century red dress, corset, and sunhat sitting in a booth of burgundy upholstery with her elbows on a plain, almost modern-looking table with a tray and some glasses and a caraffe. She is looking out into a cafe with more small, white tables, booths, and chandeliers, and a man reading the paper.

Black Cross, New Mexico by Georgia O'Keeffe (1929)

by
Closeup of the intersection of two boards of a black wooden cross. In the background just below the horizontal board is a sandy landscape with hundreds of small hills as far as the eye can see. The sky is at sunset with bright orange on the horizon fading into blue.

Medusa by Jean Delville (1893)

by
Colored pencil. Miniature. Closeup of a woman's face, her hair a big tangled mess of blue glowing snakes, and she is holding on each side of her head, just above eye level, two dishes full of a blue liquid that the snakes are feasting on. She has a blank expression, and her eyes glow white in a creepy way. there are incense burners emitting wavy lines of smoke all around her.

The Giantess (The Guardian of the Egg) by Leonora Carrington (1947)

by
Full-body portrait of a gigantic woman in a bulky red robe and fur-collared white cape that completely hide her body except her disproportionately small bare feet, head, and hands which are holding a small egg. Giant birds are flying around her and out of her cape, and at her feet is a landscape with small people and animals, showing the woman's gigantic size. the background is a sea with similarly small boats and fish.
