Audrey Anastasi
Red Pillow, mixed media pastel acrylic charcoal drawing of female figure, nude

1984

About the Item

These recently discovered 1984 oversize pastels on archival papers were created with a live model, working quickly, mostly in pastel. The series shows the last existing observational drawings prior to the artist's switch to working with her non- dominant left hand. As a feminist, Anastasi's main focus 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.
