Description
A seated nude — a graphite or print study of a woman seated without clothing, one of Goyo's life-drawing subjects that ground his print compositions in direct physical observation. The seated posture creates compositional challenges quite different from the standing figure: the body folds, weight distributes differently, and the figure's relationship to the ground plane becomes central to the composition. Goyo's seated nudes demonstrate his understanding of the body as a three-dimensional form in space rather than a flat pattern.
