"Male Nude, " Early and Fine Drawing by William Baziotes at National Academy

About the Item

Although William Baziotes is justifiably famous for his Surrealist and Biomorphic paintings later in his career, his extraordinary talent is evident in his early works as well. This drawing of a nude male model, no doubt executed at the National Academy of Design in New York in the mid-1930s, clearly shows the influence of Leon Kroll, who was Baziotes' teacher at the Academy. The artist shows great sensitivity in capturing the model's pensive expression, and took time to work out the details of his eyes and mouth. The drawing is executed in charcoal on a lovely, ruddy-brown paper. (Dimensions include frame).

  • "Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by Klimt
    By Erwin Stolz
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Bold and atmospheric, this ink drawing depicts a kneeling nude male figure, his bow arched and his arrow ready to spring forward, surrounded by a flower-bedecked landscape that clearly draws its inspiration from Gustav Klimt's work. To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...
