Untitled 1995

Nancy Fried's "Untitled" (1995) is a small-scale drawing that depicts a female torso. The simplified lines and black and white palette create a minimalist aesthetic that is both stark and evocative. The work challenges traditional representations of the female body by embracing naturalism and rejecting idealized beauty standards. The drawing is framed by a repeating motif of small ovals, adding a playful touch to the otherwise serious subject matter.
