Nude Combing Hair 1950

"Nude Combing Hair" is an etching created in 1950 by American artist Milton Avery, known for his simplified forms and vibrant colors in his paintings. The print depicts a female figure in a standing pose, combing her hair, and is a prime example of Avery's focus on capturing the essence of human form through bold lines and simplified details. His work often evoked a sense of calm and quietude, reflecting his deep understanding of human anatomy and gesture. The use of hatching, cross-hatching, and line work creates a subtle sense of depth and texture in the print.
