1984
About the Item
These recently discovered 1983-84 oversize pastels on archival papers were created working quickly, in pastel. The series shows the last existing observational drawings prior to the artists switch to working with her non- dominant left hand. This is a rare pastel painting, focused on observed nature.
As a feminist, Anastasi's main cocentration is presenting other women. Unlike the often objectified male gaze, Anastasi's version of the female classical nude incorporates a modernist sensibility, often with a direct gaze or a palpable sense of interior life.

Reader, oversize drawing of young woman reading, minimal color

This work was intentionally torn and mended. It predates the artist's full immersion, years later into torn and re-pasted collages, using ripped previous drawings and paper-based materials from media. These recently discovered 1984 oversize drawings on archival papers were created working quickly, from a live model. The series shows the last existing observational drawings prior to the artist's switch to working with her non- dominant left hand.
