Modernist Figure Studies on Toned Paper

A group of six figurative studies executed in pastel and chalk on toned wove paper, including black and purple sheets. The collection features a variety of subjects, including five full-figure studies and one portrait. The figures, comprising both male and female subjects, are depicted in seated, kneeling, reclining, and crouching positions. The artistic style is expressive and modernist, utilizing bold outlines and high-contrast color application in shades of orange, lavender, and green to define anatomy against the dark paper grounds. A notable piece in the group is a profile portrait of a Black man set against a vibrant, textured yellow background. Another work depicts two male figures on a purple sheet, with one crouching on a white cube. No signatures, marks, or inscriptions are visible on the face of any of the drawings. Seated female study: 14.25 inches (height) by 11 inches (width) Portrait study: 12.5 inches (height) by 10 inches (width).
