🦋 At the MoMA

Marta Aponte Alsina's story "Lavender Mist (1955)" tells the story of Salvador Suárez, a relatively unknown Puerto Rican painter of landscapes and farmers, visiting the Museum of Modern Art.

Here is a list of the the works Mr. Suárez encounters in his visit to the museum (plus two works not in the museum, which he thinks about, and one work not in the museum or in the story, but painted by the man on whom Mr. Suárez is ostensibly modeled):

• Rodin's sculpture of Balzac.
  
• An unnamed painting by Wifredo Lam of "scrawny figures with enormous feet and rumps".
  
• An unnamed drawing by Picasso of "a Minotaur, having congress with enormous Greek maidens".
  
• The Byzantine Icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help:
  
• The Bather, by Cézanne:
  
• Picasso's portrait of Dora Maar:
  
• Angélico's fresco of the annunciation, at the Convent of San Marco.
  
• The Starry Night, by Van Gogh:
  
• Lavender Mist, by Jackson Pollock:
  
• El pan nuestro, by Ramón Frade:
