Reclining Nude 1924 - 1930

"Reclining Nude," a woodcut created by Max Weber between 1924 and 1930, portrays a stylized female figure in a relaxed pose. Weber, known for his contributions to American Modernism, employed a simplified and expressive style in this work, characterized by bold lines and stark contrasts. The woodcut's compact composition, with the figure filling the frame, emphasizes the subject's form and emphasizes the theme of the female nude in art history. The work exemplifies Weber's exploration of Cubist and Expressionist influences, creating a powerful and evocative image.
