This is a drawing of an owl perched on a branch. The artwork depicts the owl with a focus on intricate line work and shading to highlight the texture of its feathers and its closed eyes. The composition is minimalist, with the owl occupying most of the central space on the page against a plain background. The detailed lines bring out the softness of the owl's plumage and the structure of the branch it sits upon, which is rendered in a similar style but with less density. The color palette is muted, focusing on earthy tones.

Tawny Owl (State I)

William Crutchfield, Octavio Pereira, Bruce Lowney, James Webb, Gemini G.E.L. · 1968 · lithograph in yellow and black with watercolor on Barcham Green wove paper ·  Accession ID  1991.74.17

The image contains abstract shapes and lines in black and green colors. There are mechanical-looking objects with circular tops and arrow indicators that resemble drill bits. Various green brushstroke patterns and a grid-like shape with stripes are present, along with scattered black and white photographic segments of a car tire and a person. A round black form and an adjacent circle, partially filled with red, can be seen. The composition creates an abstract visual experience reminiscent of a collage of industrial and mechanical elements.

The image shows a yellow landscape with a cart at its center. The horizon is visible midway up the image, creating a division between the land and the sky. The drawing style resembles a delicate etching, with fine, linear brushstrokes detailing textures and forms. The color scheme consists of soft yellows and muted blues, with the yellows dominating the scene. A blue cloth hangs from the side of the cart, contrasting with the overall yellow tones. The lines in the background convey depth and movement to the scene.

The image shows a geometric shape made of interlocking hexagonal sections arranged in a star-like pattern. Each section has parallel lines converging towards the center. The design resembles a stylized flower or snowflake, with a three-dimensional effect created through gradient colors and directional lines. The shades of green, blue, and gray add depth, creating the illusion of a complex structure resembling a kaleidoscope pattern.

Star of Persia II

Frank Stella, James Webb, Octavio Pereira, Robert de la Rocha, Gemini G.E.L. · 1967 · color lithograph on English Vellum graph paper ·  Accession ID  1979.75.3

Printed on cream-white paper, a geometric shape with six arms radiating symmetrically and equally from the center form a star-like pattern in this almost square color lithograph. Six V-shaped wedges printed in a single color each meet to make the arms like a piece of paper folded and cut into a snowflake. Moving clockwise around the star the wedges are olive green at noon, taupe from one to three o’clock, burnt orange and then slate blue at six. The olive green repeats from seven to nine o’clock and next is fuchsia pink. Each wedge is lined with nested white Vs. The artist signed the lower right corner of the paper with graphite, “AP VI F. Stella ’67.”

The image contains various overlapping shapes and lines, blending circular forms with angular edges to create an abstract composition. Among the overlapping imagery are a face, an athlete's jersey with the number "13," a vintage automobile, snippets of a woman's face, and mechanical parts suggesting engines or machinery. The composition evokes a collage of fragmented narratives.
Robert Rauschenberg, Octavio Pereira, James Webb, Gemini G.E.L., Test Stone #1, 1967, lithograph on Rives BFK wove paper, Gift of Gemini G.E.L. and the Artist, 1981.5.230

Test Stone #1

Robert Rauschenberg, Octavio Pereira, James Webb, Gemini G.E.L. · 1967 · lithograph on Rives BFK wove paper ·  Accession ID  1981.5.230

The image depicts a hexagonal star-like shape composed of geometric lines and angles. The abstract design consists of six arms extending outward, each formed by concentric V-shaped lines in gradients of green, blue, purple, and black. The central pattern of lines creates an appearance reminiscent of a kaleidoscope or a stylized, multi-directional arrowhead. The arrangement sits against a light beige grid background.
