A man sits nude on a simple wooden chair in a dim room. His hands rest on his knees, head slightly tilted. The rough grain of the chair shows in the print. Iosif Iser made this in 1944 during tough years in Romania. The print feels raw and direct, not polished. You can almost feel the quiet of the space. See more like this at the Museum of Ethnography.
