Komposition med fem nøgne, stående figurer. 1905 - 1908

"Komposition med fem nøgne, stående figurer." (Composition with Five Nude, Standing Figures), a 1905-1908 charcoal drawing by French artist Othon Friesz (1879-1949), showcases the artist's exploration of the human figure and the expressive potential of line. The work, held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features five figures rendered in a dynamic and gestural style. The figures are nude, and their bodies are contorted and intertwined, creating a sense of movement and energy. Friesz's use of charcoal allows for subtle variations in tone and texture, enhancing the sense of volume and depth. This powerful study of the figure is a testament to Friesz's mastery of drawing and his ability to capture the human form with both precision and emotional intensity.
