Comparison

Arthur Segal.
South of France Street Scene, 1929.
Street in Helgoland II, 1924.
Dead Crab, 1943.

He was Romanian Jewish, born at just the wrong moment to somehow suffer both world wars and never know other than running and displacement, though he found some success. His son took similar ideas to new heights as a British mid-century architect. Can you see the overlap with Chagall? Klee? Léger? Kupka most of all. Note the characteristic painted frame in the middle image.

A painting of a stucco-walled street ending in a house. Wthe feel is blurry and moody but with cubistic influences too.
A painting with distinct cubist influences showing what might be a street corner highly abstracted and geometric. Most noticeable is the matching treatment of the frame which is entirely painted over with a similar motif.
A painting of the belly of a stone crab laid on a piece of white butcher paper. Though naturalistic, the geometric segmentation of the shell recalls cubist treatments in other paintings, too.

Arthur Segal. Harbour on Bornholm, 1928.

I'm wondering how to post this artist. Grouping works seems to diminish them because he ranged so widely even late in his career. But not grouping risks leaving really unique patterns unnoticed. I'll just take my time, though this picture may eventually seem like starting at completely the wrong end of the story. He will have my attention for a while this new week.

An abstract painting in 4 distinct quadrants which suggests landscapes with water and boats and rectilinear piers.

Jasper or Jeronimus Becx. Portrait of Dom Miguel de Castro, Emissary of Congo, 1643.

This portrait pushes a lot of buttons for me at once, but probably its most universally appealing aspect is the story of its convoluted provenance and subsequent misattribution, which stretches from modern Angola to the Netherlands to Brazil to Denmark. To top it all off, the clothing is Portuguese. Yes, that's an "or" in the artist name, not an "and." We don't even know which.

A Dutch Golden Age portrait of a sensitively and realistically rendered black man (only his head is visible) wearing rather perfunctorally rendered stiff Portuguese clothing. He has a wide black hat with a red plume and a wide starched flat white collar.

Comparison:

Picasso.
Minotauromachy, 1935.
and
The Tavern: Young Catalan Fisherman
Recounts His Life to an Old Bearded
Fisherman, 1934. (from the Vollard Suite, which includes minotaurs as well)

Enigmas wrapped within enigmas, and yet all of it so familiar, to him and now to us, too.

I'm captured by the left & right, darkness & light, one interpretation of which might be youth and death versus age and light. Or maybe it's that we contain the labyrinth that contains us.

Picasso's famous and inexplicable allegory of a minotaur, a dead female matador, a wounded horse, a young woman holding up a light, a man on a ladder, and two women in a high window looking down from above. This picture is often compared to Guernica because of imagery common to both.
An etching of a dense busy darker full older man on the left talking across a bar table to a very loosely sketched spare empty white incomplete depiction of a young man to the right. The older man is smoking a pipe and clutching a glass.
