Nude Woman
1905-1907
Modigliani was obsessed with the curve of the human body, and here you can see him stripping a figure down to its most essential, flowing lines. Created during his early years in Paris around 1905, this sketch shows the artist experimenting with the elongated forms that would become his signature style, hinting at the Cubist influences of the time. He often drew nudes like this because he couldn't always afford models for paintings, turning quick, economical sketches into masterpieces of sensual grace.
