Pickup currently not available
This black, white, and gray semi-abstract painting titled 'The Model' was created by Antionette Simmons Hodges in 1965 during her college years. This painting is now available as a Nude art print. It depicts a stylized, elongated female nude figure seated in a chair, rendered through thick, gestural brushstrokes. Hodges chose to paint the model using shades of black and gray rather than color, as she wanted to capture the pale skin tone of the live model posing for her art class—one of the first opportunities she had to paint from a live model.
The angular, geometric forms outlining the figure's shape and the chair give the composition a bold, modern expressionistic style that conveys energy and movement. This early work showcases Hodges' semi-abstract approach to interpreting the human figure through simplified forms and dynamic brushwork during her formative years as an artist. 'The Model' represents a significant first experience for Hodges in painting from a live nude model. As a Nude art print, it emphasizes the power and vulnerability of the human form, capturing a raw, emotional essence. This Nude art print also showcases the artist’s bold exploration of form, creating a stylized representation of the female body.
This Nude art print exemplifies a pivotal moment in Hodges' artistic journey. Using muted tones and gestural strokes, she captures not just the human form but the essence of the model’s presence. The piece speaks to the timeless beauty and complexity of the female figure, making it a standout Nude art print for any collection.
This Nude art print is produced as a giclee on archival-quality paper with fade-resistant inks, ensuring a brilliant investment piece. Perfect for adding uplifting, joyful energy and a stylish statement to any contemporary living space or gallery wall. The Nude art print not only captures the body but also the energy of the moment, inviting viewers to connect with the model’s raw presence.
