Anyone who carries a charge card will take comfort in knowing that credit companies sometimes get socked with whopping bills too. For the American Express Company, makers of the popular green, gold and platinum cards, the latest numbers aren't pretty: $205 million in third-quarter losses.

The small ink lines are used sparingly, yet convey great detail--a few quick lines on a wall suggest hundreds of bricks. The warm color is built up with washes of brown and gray with pink highlights. Like the other pieces in the show, this work shows an intimate scene that gives the viewer a glimpse...
