This powerful Cubist male nude is rendered in long uninterrupted bold black strokes that draw our gaze like a magnet. Mercedes Matter was a female artist making a Cubist work but with the spontaneous speed, strength, and intense style of an action painting like that of Franz Kline or Willem de Kooning . Yet Matter did this a decade before the heyday of Abstract Expressionism. Framed size 26.75 x 32.50
