Nude IX is a 1918 ink by Georg Schrimpf, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two simple, curved shapes hugging each other against a black background. Tall, spiky grass frames them like a border, with a few small flowers at the bottom. The lines are bold and flat, with no shading—just black ink and white paper. The artist carved the design into wood, then printed it. That’s why the edges look so sharp and the shapes feel solid.
