About this work

This is a black-and-white print of a seated woman. She’s naked, with one arm resting on her knee and the other hand near her chest. Her body is simple and strong, with smooth lines and solid shadows. The background is mostly empty, just a few rough marks around the edges. The artist used a woodblock technique—this isn’t paint, but ink pressed into carved linoleum. The dark shapes pop against the light paper, making her form stand out. Next, check out Moissey Kogan.
