English 1920s Large Charcoal Life Drawing

About the Item

English 1920s framed charcoal figure study of a life drawing class in progress. With remarkable talent the artist has constructed a tense scene dominated by the nude male model at the front of the class (far right of the image) surrounded by students at their easels. By drawing some of the figures as looking out toward the viewer, and the model turned to face them, the perceived 4th wall containing the action dissolves to raise the question of who is studying whom. The Art Deco time period is evident in the geometric repetition and statuesque pose of the model balanced by a tall staff to maintain his posture. Signed and dated to the lower right (unclear); framed and matted without glass. Please view the detailed images.
