A young woman fills the frame, shown close and front-facing, her gaze from large almond eyes averted while her right hand tightly clamps a small kitten at the neck with white-knuckled tension. Edges are sharply drawn while surfaces appear as cool, enamel-like paint laid with small, deliberate strokes. The kitten stares directly outward with large green almond eyes as the young light-skinned woman turns away, creating a dissonance between contact and detachment. A flat background and meticulous contours heighten the sense of stillness, restraint, and psychological pressure. Painted in 1947, the model is Kathleen “Kitty” Garman, Freud’s muse and soon-to-be first wife (married in 1948). Daughter of sculptor Jacob Epstein and Kathleen Garman, Kitty was an art student and frequent sitter, appearing in a sequence of Freud’s early portraits. Here the kitten operates as a visual pun on her nickname while also sharpening the picture’s unease: the affectionate symbol is held with a grip that reads as control rather than comfort. This painting belongs to Freud’s early, hyper-precise manner with clean outlines, cool tonality, plus steady, linear brushwork and before the looser impasto of his later decades. At this moment, Freud was in his mid-twenties, gaining recognition in postwar London. The painting’s taut pose and withheld glance suggest the artist’s fascination with inner states over mere likeness, capturing a relationship on the cusp of marriage and a career poised to shift in scale and ambition.

ictor Vasarely, born Győző Vásárhelyi in 1906, was a Hungarian-French artist and is widely considered the father of the Op Art movement. He initially studied medicine before transitioning to art, ultimately becoming known for his geometric and visually dynamic works. Vasarely's influence on art and design continues to be significant, particularly in the realm of optical illusions and abstract art.

A beautiful pastoral scene of a red barn near the foothills by Nellie M. Hodgson (American, 20th Century). A barn is nestled in a grove of trees, possibly eucalyptus. Beyond the trees, there are blue foothills rising to meet a cloud-filled sky.

Born on June 17, 1913 in Sedalia, MO. His parents were Walter William Hocker (1885-1958) and Jessie Hayes Hocker (1888-1976). He had three siblings Walter Hayes Hocker (unknown dates), Hazel Hocker Gamble (1917-2004) and John Robert Hocker (1923-1929). He studied at the University of Missouri, Kansas City Art Insitute, and the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. He was a muralist and studied under Thomas Hart Benton. He also studied in France at Grande Chaumière, Paris, with Othon Friesz, Fernand Leger & Andre Lhote. Hocker painted murals for the NY World's Fair and the San Francisco Exposition. He was a District Supervisor of WPA Art Program, and later developed graphic training aids for the AAF in WWII. Trew served in the United States Army from May 16, 1942 to August 20, 1943 as a sergeant and from August 21, 1943 to February 11, 1946 as a captain.
