Round 1100: Tossup 18

Each painting in Eric Fischl’s gallery Late America is set near these places, which another artist depicted using pulp in a set of “paper” types of these places. A late cutout work by Henri Matisse installed in his dining room titled for one of these places depicts a series of blue figures on white paper. Masking tape was used to create straight lines in another painting of these places, whose title figure was based on a Polaroid of a man standing against an MG car. A man in a pink jacket inspired by the artist’s lover Peter Schlesinger looks (10[1])down at one of these places in the painting Portrait of an Artist. A house, an empty director’s chair, and two palm trees appear (10[1])by one of these places in a 1973 painting by the artist of Mr (10[1])and Mrs Clark and Percy. For 10 points, name this type of place depicted in David Hockney’s A Bigger Splash. (10[1])■END■ (10[3])
