Nude
Arthur B. Davies American
"Nude" reflects Davies’s interest in the art of ancient Greece, which dates to a trip he made to Greece and southern Italy in 1910-11. The figure, a standing female in high relief, is monumental in concept, but miniature in scale. The frontally arranged composition, with only the head and the arms cut away from the supporting pillar, is representative of Davies’s repeated experimentation with the possibilities of the relief and the female nude in his sculptural work.
