Standing Female Nude Seen from Behind c. 1940s

Franz Kline's "Standing Female Nude Seen from Behind," a c. 1940s ink drawing, captures the human form in its most essential form. Executed in a minimalist style, the work focuses on the contours of the female figure, using a series of fluid lines to define the body's curves. The simple yet powerful composition emphasizes the abstract quality of the human form, revealing Kline's artistic interest in the interplay of line and shape.
