Seated Nude, Back-View
Henri Gaudier-Brzeska French
Not on view
The bold, defining strokes in this drawing exemplify the dynamism of Gaudier-Brzeska’s characteristic style. As a key figure in the Vorticist movement founded by Wyndham Lewis, Gaudier-Brzeska developed a direct carving technique as a sculptor, influenced by Indian, Assyrian, Japanese, West African, and Pacific Island art. The strong lines in this drawing echo his sculptural approach and reinforce his fascination with the human form.
