About the Item

Dimensions with frame: 44,8 x 25,7 x 1,8cm. Signed "Ben" in the lower right corner. Framed under glass. This striking modernist study depicts a standing female nude seen from the back, rendered with bold, gestural lines and a confident, expressive hand. The composition is both minimal and dynamic: the figure’s elongated form is outlined with fluid contours and accented by loose, painterly highlights that suggest volume rather than define it. The head is crowned with an explosion of vivid, abstract color: reds, yellows, and blues, contrasting with the subdued tones of the body and introducing an element of emotional intensity and symbolic ambiguity. This interplay between restraint and spontaneity reflects early to mid-20th-century modernist experimentation, where the human figure becomes a vehicle for expression rather than strict realism. Executed on paper and presented in a refined mat, the work balances immediacy and elegance. It would appeal to collectors of figurative modernism and works on paper, as well as those seeking a distinctive and expressive statement piece. modernist nude, nude study drawing, back nude figure, expressionist figure, figurative modern art, fauvist influence painting, female nude artwork, 20th century modernism, expressive brushwork, gestural figure drawing, abstract figurative art, colored head figure, contemporary nude study, artwork on paper, fine art nude, collector modern art, minimalist figure, bold line drawing, artistic nude painting, decorative modern art
