Sun Bather 1943

"Sun Bather" is a 1943 pencil sketch by Milton Avery, a noted American artist known for his simplified, expressive forms and vibrant colors. The sketch depicts a nude figure, lying on a beach, with a dog in the background. Avery's minimalist style is evident in the loose lines and abstract shapes, with an emphasis on capturing the essence of the scene rather than precise details. This intimate and gestural drawing is characteristic of Avery's exploration of the human figure within the natural world.
