Painted during artist Annette Nancarrow’s Mexico years, the picture reflects her engagement with Mexican visual culture without feeling like a travel image or ethnographic study. Instead, she distills form, color, and mood. One figure appears guarded and watchful. Another seems steadier, more inwardly assured. That subtle contrast creates a quiet emotional dialogue between them. Their closeness suggests companionship, kinship, or shared experience, but the painting leaves the exact relationship open, which gives it lasting intrigue.

The duo are shown close together in the foreground, their heads inclined toward one another so that their shawls and shoulders almost form a single, compact mass. Both figures wear dark rebozo coverings in deep black, blue, violet, rust, and brown, arranged in angular folds that frame their faces. The woman at left has a pale, masklike face built from sharp planes of cream, gray, yellow, and blue as large eyes look outward and her face falls into shadow. The woman at right has warmer red, coral, and terracotta tones across her face, with arched brows, dark eyes, circular earrings, and a faint, knowing smile. They wear white patterned embroidered dresses. Behind them rises a compressed townscape of tan and cream buildings, domed towers, and terracotta roofs under a cool, cloudy sky. The paint surface is rough and visibly worked, with bold outlines and broken color that make the women feel both intimate and monumental.

The angular faces and emphatic contours place the work within 20th-century modernism as the figures are simplified, but never flattened into symbols alone. Its warmth comes from color. Its force comes from design. And, its mystery comes from how much feeling is carried in the charged space between two faces while Nancarrow preserves individuality through tilt, gaze, and expression. The result is a painting about women with dignity and gravity … like they really are the true main characters of their own world.

Two chorus dancers appear in close profile against a nearly black background, cropped at the chest so the eye goes first to their faces rather than to performance or costume. The woman in front closes her eyes, her expression tired, inward, almost private. Both wear translucent pink hats and matching pink stage dresses; their short bobbed hair, pale skin, sharply drawn noses, and vivid red lipstick stand out with theatrical clarity. Their shoulders angle in the same direction, but they do not read as identical showgirls. Instead, each face feels distinct, alert to a different emotional register. The picture is intimate rather than expansive because there is no stage set, no audience, and no spectacle of legs or motion. What remains is the pause between performances, when glamour slips and personhood returns.

That shift is the painting’s quiet power. In Weimar Berlin, revue performers were often presented as decorative types, symbols of nightlife, modernity, and erotic display. German artist Jeanne Mammen, herself a famously independent artist and a keen observer of urban women, resists that flattening. Here she redirects attention from entertainment to exhaustion and from fantasy to labor. 

The Museum of Modern Art (Berlinische Galerie) in Berlin notes that the front figure carries Mammen’s own features and the second resembles her sister Mimi, which makes the image feel even more layered. This is not just a scene of performers, but a subtle meditation on self-projection, family resemblance, and the masks women were asked to wear in modern 1920s European city life. Instead of selling glitter, the painting reveals the human cost beneath it. The result is tender, unsparing, and deeply modern.

A delicate drawing in watercolor of 2 pale pink roses on a stone ledge, attached to a leafy branch. In the lower left corner is a black and red beetle. In the middle left, a colorful butterfly alights on the end of a branch that sticks up in the air; it is depicted sideways, with wings straight up and its head facing toward the middle of the artwork. Above it, in the farther background, is a red or orange butterfly or moth in flight. On each side of the colorful butterfly are tiny winged insects. In about the middle of the painting, sitting on the same branch as the colorful butterfly and facing it, is a larger winged insect - maybe a dragonfly? - depicted from the side. On the right half of the work, above the rose leaves, is another butterfly, this one orange and black, with its head pointed down toward the leaves and its wings spread in flight. The artist's signature is on the face of the ledge near the lower right corner of the work: "Margareta D Heer Fecit."

British-Nigerian artist Ṣọlá Olúlòde (Sola Olulode) made this work in 2020, after studying painting at Brighton, during a period when isolation and longing for touch shaped daily life. She said "Eternal Light" was “of a couple embracing each other,” expressing the physical closeness many people missed in lockdown like “an ode to our loved ones.”

Set against a radiant field of saturated yellow, two Black figures are shown in a close embrace at the center of the canvas. One woman stands in front, head tilted inward, with eyes closed and long dark braids falling over one shoulder. A pale circular form, like a halo or luminous crown, rests across the upper forehead. Another woman leans forward to embrace her from behind, with a calm, inward expression. Her hair is gathered into rounded puffs. Both her arms meet across the chest of her companion. The taller woman reaches up to return the embrace as all four hands meet near her heart. Both wear warm red-orange patterned garments. Across the bodies and background, pale wax-resist marks and streaks cut through the paint like flashes of light, giving the scene a layered, glowing, and almost sacred atmosphere.

The image could be maternal, familial, friendly, or romantic. Olúlòde leaves tenderness open rather than policing it. Her materials and wax-resist processes draw on batik and Yoruba adire textile traditions, giving the surface a stained, layered, handmade presence. The yellow does not just describe light. It becomes feeling itself like warmth, devotion, protection, and memory. In Olúlòde’s work, Black intimacy is not framed through struggle alone, but through care, softness, and joy. This painting turns embrace into atmosphere with love as shelter, radiance, and survival.

Two women are shown from very close range, filling the painting edge to edge. Their heads incline toward one another until the space between them nearly disappears, creating a feeling of privacy and trust. Each woman cradles a wide, white teacup in both hands. Their eyes are lowered, and their expressions are quiet, inward, and calm, as if the act of drinking is also a moment of rest. Both wear light cloths over their heads, painted in creamy white and muted green. The palette is warm and saturated as coral, rose, terracotta, brown, smoky black, and touches of cool green move across the canvas in broad, visible strokes. Their skin is rendered in warm peach-brown and rosy tones, and the hands are simplified but expressive, repeated across the lower half of the image like a rhythm. There is only color and gesture so the women’s shared presence is the whole subject.

That intimacy is central to Filipino artist Anita Magsaysay-Ho’s art. She is celebrated for painting Filipina women with dignity, solidarity, and inner life, often focusing on everyday labor or communal ritual rather than spectacle. Here, tea drinking becomes more than a domestic act. It is a shared pause, a small ceremony of warmth, companionship, and replenishment. The women do not look out to meet us. Instead, they remain absorbed in their own moment, which makes the scene feel especially tender and self-possessed.

Painted in 1957, the work belongs to Magsaysay-Ho’s mature modernist period, when she used flattened forms, rhythmic contour, and expressive color to distill experience rather than describe it literally. As the only woman associated with the Thirteen Moderns in the Philippines, she helped reshape modern Filipino painting while returning again and again to women’s worlds as sites of strength, beauty, and mutual care. This painting turns closeness itself into the subject with companionship as sustenance.
