About this work

Two smooth, curvy figures stand side by side on a blank page. Their bodies are made of simple lines—no faces, no clothes, just flowing shapes. Nadelman drew these figures over and over, playing with how little he could use to suggest a person. The lines feel light, almost like they could float off the paper. He worked fast, letting the ink and pencil do the work without fuss. If you like these clean, playful shapes, look up more drawings by Elie Nadelman.
