Figure 1960

"Figure" (1960) by Nikos Nikolaou (1909-1986) is a striking example of figurative art. The minimalist style and use of muted colors, reminiscent of a terracotta sculpture, emphasizes the form of the nude figure. The subject's pose, with arms wrapped around their head, suggests introspection and a sense of vulnerability. This piece, created during the mid-20th century, reflects Nikolaou's distinctive approach to capturing the human form.
