Monet in Vétheuil​ From the warmth of summer to the hush of winter, the Impressionist master captured it all.​ Exquisitely rendered in a flurry of delicate brushstrokes, 'La Route de Vétheuil, effet de neige,' 1879, was painted during Claude Monet's first full year in the rural hamlet of Vétheuil, northwest of Paris. The work captures the stillness and serenity of a bright winter's day with remarkable clarity, the deep, fresh snow offering Monet a unique opportunity to study the striking effect of refracted winter light across its surface.​ Modern & Contemporary Art Evening Sale​ New York ​ 19 May

Back to the boulevard.​ ​ In 'Liqueurs, musique, chemiserie (avec sept voitures)', Jean Dubuffet transforms the banal into spectacle, reimagining a Parisian street as a teeming circus.​ Executed in 1961, the work brims with the compressed humanity of the modern boulevard. It follows Dubuffet's return to figuration with the 'Barbes' (Beards) series, initiated in 1959, which drew him out of quasi-abstraction into the messy exuberance of everyday life.​ Modern & Contemporary Art Evening Sale ​ New York ​ 19 May ​ Modern & Contemporary Art: Morning Session ​ New York​ 21 May​ Photo credit: © Kurt Wyss

Abstraction across generations ​ Emily Mason’s mother was her first artistic influence, exposing her to the life of a practicing artist before she could hold a brush. A visionary in her own right, Alice Trumbull Mason is recognized as one of the earliest abstract painters in the United States.​ “When I look back on my mother, I remember someone who was resilient and driven by her principles.
