Saul Yurkievich (1931–2005) - Femme surréaliste

Saúl Yurkievich (1931–2005) — Untitled, female figure with raised hand

Ink and wash on paper.
Dimensions: 31.5 × 22 cm.

A nude female figure stands out against a background of gray and black washes, animated on the left by sinuous motifs. The elongated face, strongly defined eyes, and expressive distortion of proportions give the figure a distinctive presence.

The drawing combines flowing outlines with a network of hatching that structures the face and torso. One hand raised and the other brought in front of the body create a play of expressive gestures. The light areas of the paper contrast with the depth of the background, accentuating the silhouette and its dreamlike quality.
