One image I like is entitled Camp Forestia. Doig is British-born; this work is in MoMA. The painting looks better in the book: the house and the reflection are full -- and there is no red. The neat thing is that if one turns the page, the house looks (almost) exactly the same, except for the refelction having some black.

Camp Forestia
Saw article about Peter Doig in current issue of New York review of Books. HWPL, of course, owns a book on him, Works on paper.
