“This 1954 drawing by Wojciech Fangor depicts a seated, nude figure in profile, enclosed within a complex arrangement of geometric planes. The softly shaded human form contrasts with the sharp, constructed shapes surrounding it, creating an intriguing dialogue between figuration and abstraction.
The work represents an important early phase in Fangor’s development, when he explored the relationship between the human body and spatial structure. It marks a transitional moment between his strictly figurative beginnings and the later, celebrated investigations into perception, optical space and visual rhythm.
The drawing conveys introspection and stillness, while simultaneously revealing the artist’s growing interest in geometry, composition and the psychology of form. “
