ELIE NADELMAN
Standing Nude.

Drypoint on imitation Japan paper, circa 1920. 260x75 mm; 10 1/4x3 inches, full margins. A very good impression, with all the fine lines distinct.

Known primarily for his modernist sculptures of female heads and nudes, Nadelman (1882-1946) was a Polish born artist who spent the last decades of his life in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx. His works display his passions for classical sculpture and European Folk Art, mixed with the Cubist influences he gained through his relationships with avant-garde artists like Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, whom he met while living in Paris from 1904 to 1914.
