Description

Nude, which must date from around 1936 - 1937, is one of his first attempts. Two things point to this conclusion: first, the use of the technique of linoleum, which as a surface is easier to engrave, and, second, the rendering of the nude more in the manner of painting. Use is made here of ochre and brown for the chiaroscuro, while the lineation is carried out diffidently and with great care.
