About this work

This print shows three nude figures sitting close together. The shapes are bold and flat, with thick black lines against a light background. One person leans back, another sits upright, and the third rests her head on the first. Their bodies are simple, with no small details—just smooth curves and strong lines. The print looks like it was carved into linoleum, not painted. That’s why the edges are so sharp and the shading is all about the black and white contrast. Next, check out Moissey Kogan.
