John R. Grabach
Black Male Nude Sitting, Academic Charcoal Nude Figure Drawing Life Class

1950s

About the Item

This is a masterfully observed and rendered black make nude by an academician and fine artist. John R. Grabach has a long and distinguished career depicting gritty, social realism works depicting the urban working-class. His fundamental skills come as a result of his studying at the Art Students League with Frank V. DuMond, and George Bridgman. This work "black male nude " clearly reflects the concept of constructive anatomy taught in George B. Bridgman's life drawing classes. Work is unframed but hinged mounted to archival board.
