Description

Natacha Rambova Pencil Sketches - Two Panels of Nudes and Anatomy. Rambova produces a three-paneled one-woman art show, with her work ranging from the beautiful to the eerie. One one side, there are three sketches -- two of nudes, and one of a woman's face from four different angles, with remarkable depth in the eyes. On the reverse: nudes, a female nude in the wind, torso shots, a hand, a leg, a foot, an Asian-looking face and a hand -- translucent so you can see the bones, and drawn in such a way that the hand looks like a snake ready to strike. A third panel (separate from aforementioned two-sided panel) features nudes, a skull, a breast, a lip and mustache. Very fine condition. There must have been devils in Rambova's psyche, and it's clear that she tried to exorcise them in this fascinating art work.
