"Nude Male with Upraised Arms, " Striking Midcentury Drawing by RISD Teacher

About the Item

Stark and sensuous at the same time, this drawing was made by Robert Lamb in 1953, shortly after he graduated from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. Although primarily known for teaching sculpture at Cornell University and RISD, and for his highly-regarded body of work as a sculptor, Lamb also produced a range of works on paper and canvas over the last 50 years. The artist's work has been exhibited by the National Sculpture Society in New York City, the RISD Museum of Art, and Cornell University, and his sculptures are in the collection of the Hirschhorn Collection in Washington. The media are ink and crayon on illustration board.

  • "Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by Klimt
    By Erwin Stolz
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Bold and atmospheric, this ink drawing depicts a kneeling nude male figure, his bow arched and his arrow ready to spring forward, surrounded by a flower-bedecked landscape that clearly draws its inspiration from Gustav Klimt's work. To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...
