Nude Studies
CURATED COLLECTIONThe unclothed human figure, studied for training and for finished composition alike, is the subject of this collection. Academic art education relied heavily on drawing from the live model, and mythological or allegorical subjects gave painters licence to treat nudity within socially acceptable bounds well into the nineteenth century. Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres brought a cool, linear precision to the female nude, while Egon Schiele's later figures, drawn with nervous, angular line, show the same subject handled through an Expressionist lens. Drawings, prints and paintings together trace how the study of the body changed across period and intent.
