Claude Monet - The House of Parliament; Series, 1901-04. Oil on canvas 

In the fall of 1899 and the early months of 1900 and of 1901, Monet executed a series of views of the Thames River in London. From his room at the Savoy Hotel, he painted Waterloo Bridge to the east, and Charing Cross Bridge to the west; beginning in February 1900, he set up his easel on a terrace at Saint Thomas’s Hospital across the river, reserving time in the late afternoon to depict the Houses of Parliament.

While in London, Monet produced nearly a hundred canvases, reportedly moving from one to another as the light changed. He continued to work on these paintings in his studio at Giverny. In May 1904, thirty-seven were exhibited at the Galerie Durand-Ruel in Paris.

Jim Dine, Gray Palette, 1963

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art:

Between 1961 and 1964 Dine made a series of works that used the shape of the artist’s palette both as a backdrop for other imagery and as a surrogate self-portrait. Here he playfully subverts the notion of the palette as the site where a painter mixes colors, rendering it not in bright hues – with the exception of a single, marginal flash of red – but largely in black, white and gray. To the thin, rather brittle surface of a sheet of tracing paper, Dine adhered torn and abraded scraps of wove paper. Their presence suggests the accrual of dried, unused pigment on the palette while simultaneously providing surfaces implicitly awaiting paint.
