Standing Nude Woman (1905-1907) 6
Before he became the king of elongated necks and almond eyes, Modigliani was experimenting with form in sketches like this one. Created around 1905-1907, this standing nude shows his early fascination with stretching the human body into elegant, flowing lines. The figure looks almost like two people merged together, a playful nod to the Cubist influences swirling around Paris at the time. It's a raw, intimate glimpse into the artist's creative process before he found his ultimate groove.
