Subscriber Tom shares James Abbott McNeill Whistler's "Nocturne in Black and Gold, The Falling Rocket" (1875) at the Detroit Institute of Arts (https://www.dia.org/art/collection/object/nocturne-black-and-gold-falling-rocket-64931), which is a great example that I should have included. More on it here as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturne_in_Black_and_Gold_%E2%80%93_The_Falling_Rocket
