Nude Seated on the Edge of a Pool c. 20th century

Editor: So, this is László Medgyes' "Nude Seated on the Edge of a Pool." It's a simple line drawing and feels very… poised, almost geometric. What do you see in this piece? Curator: You know, it's the simplicity that grabs me. It's like a daydream sketched onto paper. The figure seems lost in thought, doesn’t she? Almost daring you to dive into the cool water with her. Or maybe she's daring herself? Editor: I hadn't thought of it that way! So, it's not just a nude, but a study of contemplation? Curator: Exactly! And the starkness invites us to fill in the emotional landscape. It's like Medgyes gives us the bare bones of a story and asks us to write the ending. What do you think that story is? Editor: Well, now I'm thinking about escape, a quiet moment of reflection before something big happens. Thanks, I'll never look at simple line drawings the same way again!
