Study for Biennale works 1963

"Study for Biennale works" is a 1963 painting by Greek artist Nikos Nikolaou (1909-1986). The artwork features a stylized nude figure rendered in muted tones against a dark background. The simplified forms and flattened perspective evoke a sense of the figurative and the abstract, characteristic of Nikolaou's style. This piece may have been intended for the artist's participation in the Venice Biennale, a prestigious international art exhibition held in Venice, Italy.
