Round 11: 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 (10[1])titled for one of these places depicts a series of blue figures on white paper. Masking tape (-5[1])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 down at one of these (10[1])places in the painting Portrait of an Artist. A house, (10[1])an empty director’s chair, and two palm (10[1])trees appear by one of these places in a 1973 painting by the artist of Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy. For 10 points, name this type of place depicted in David Hockney’s A Bigger Splash. ■END■ (10[1])
