Figure 1979

"Figure" is a 1979 work by Greek artist Nikos Nikolaou (1909-1986). The piece depicts two nude figures in a simplified, almost abstract style, with minimal detail in the figures' features. The white figures stand out against the brown and blue background, lending a sense of monumentality and a focus on their form. This work exemplifies Nikolaou's unique approach to depicting the human figure, often simplified and stripped of extraneous detail, emphasizing essential shape and volume.
