The artist constructs the figure using bold, heavy black contour lines and geometric planes, drawing strong aesthetic connections to Cubism, Expressionism, and post-war figurative modernism (in the vein of Pablo Picasso and Willem de Kooning). A vibrant palette of magenta pink, golden ochre, teal blue, violet, and deep black provides exceptional visual contrast. A striking cubist figure study suited to a collector of mid-century modernist drawing. Executed on thin, fine-textured paper, possibly a Japan or mulberry-fiber paper, which shows the design faintly from the reverse; despite its thinness this type of paper is typically quite strong and tear-resistant. Unsigned; artist unidentified, exact date unknown. Unframed, measuring 11.5\" x 15.75\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome horizontal creasing\/folds across the middle, edge handling wear, subtle corner pinholes\/tears, and tape residue\/staining along the top edge margin on the reverse side. Recommend matting\/framing behind glass for protection and display, as is standard practice for any unframed work on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Hook Treasure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48916316619006,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3263\/7182\/files\/Cubist_Nude_Woman_01.jpg?v=1788911073","url":"https:\/\/redhooktreasure.com\/products\/vintage-mid-century-cubist-expressionist-seated-nude-pastel-painting-on-paper","provider":"Red Hook Treasure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
