"Maya the Wonderful" Mixed Media Female Nude in Cut Paper W/ Airbrush Gradients

20th Century

About the Item

This striking mixed media work, entitled "Maya the Wonderful" was realized in the United States during the mid 20th Century. It offers an austere composition, whose effect is far greater than its parts. The work is created from an overlaid sinuously curved paper form airbrushed in a dark charcoal hue and overlaid upon the background (of the same material). This undulating abstract band adjoins another lighter grisaille amorphic form to create the silhouette of a female form with pronounced hips and breasts created through the two organic circular moments of negative space. The two forms meet to form her head (body and soul, in unison, perhaps). With its clean modernist lines and dramatic form, this piece would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. It comes presented in a custom gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. American, mid 20th century

By Audrey Anastasi
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This feminist work of a nude gazing directly at the viewer, features graphite on mylar over cut paper, aligned to amplify the forms while maintaining the delicacy of the drawing. These recently discovered 1984 oversize works on mylar and archival papers were created with 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. As a feminist, Anastasi's main focus is presenting other women. Unlike the often objectified male gaze...
