ELIE NADELMAN Reclining Nude. Relief print on heavy cream, wove paper, circa 1920. 283x390 mm; 11 1/4x15 1/4 inches (sheet), full margins. A superb impression with the relief showing through dinstinctly on the verso. Known primarily for his modernist sculptures of female heads and nudes, Nadelman (1882-1946) was a Polish born artist who spent the last decades of his life in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx. His works display his passions for classical sculpture and European Folk Art, mixed with the Cubist influences he gained through his relationships with avant-garde artists like Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, whom he met while living in Paris from 1904 to 1914.
