Stående nøgen kvinde set forfra 1945 - 1948

This is Vilhelm Lundstrom’s drawing, ‘Standing Nude Woman Seen From The Front.’ The artwork, created with an undefined medium on paper, features a composition that’s immediately striking for its reduction to essential lines and shapes. Lundstrom uses a minimal approach, creating the figure with flowing lines that intersect and define the contours of the body. The absence of shading and detail places emphasis on the structure itself, revealing an interest in the underlying geometry of the human form. This echoes the broader modernist exploration of pure form and the reduction of objects to their most basic elements. The stark simplicity invites a deeper look at how line alone can convey volume, depth, and even emotion. In its elegant economy, the drawing challenges traditional representations of the nude. Lundstrom’s concentration on linearity serves to reveal and question the very foundations of visual representation.
