Squatting Nude
This conversation is connected to Squatting Nude.
A squatting female nude, frontal, built from heavy brown outlines and horizontal white brushstrokes against a dark rust-red and olive-green background. The figure is massive and simplified: wide hips, small head with dark hair, the body rendered in thick, deliberate strokes. The face has two dark eyes and a small nose, almost mask-like. The white paint is applied in layered horizontal bands across the torso and legs. A small black rectangle sits at the upper right. The painting is raw and physical, more about the weight of the body than any idealized anatomy. Gouache on paper.
