Standing Nude
1929
George Minne’s 'Standing Nude' captures a moment of intense vulnerability, showing a figure turned away with their face buried in their hands. Created in 1929, this drawing reflects Minne’s lifelong fascination with the human soul and inner turmoil, themes he usually explored through his famous sculptures. The soft, smudged shading gives the body a ghostly, almost ethereal quality, as if the figure is trying to disappear into the paper itself. It’s a quiet, powerful study of shame or deep contemplation that feels incredibly raw and modern.
