"Seated Nude" is a 1939 woodcut by the American artist William H. Johnson (1901-1970). Known for his bold lines and vibrant colors, Johnson utilized a simplified, almost geometric style in this work. The subject, a nude figure, is rendered in stark contrasts of light and dark, emphasizing the form of the body and the patterned background. This powerful artwork exemplifies Johnson's dedication to representing African-American subjects with dignity and strength.
