Associated Names
Jirí Balcar

Artist, Czech, 1929 - 1968

The image displays a grid of nine drawings featuring the outline of a human figure in various poses. Each panel shows either a full or three-quarter view of the body, positioned primarily in profile or back view. The sketches do not focus on facial features but some hint at short or mid-length hair. The clothing varies between outlines of dresses or is absent, relying on shadow and line to suggest form. Around the figures, there are abstract shapes, numbers, and letters. The overall background is a plain, neutral tone with the panels divided by thin black lines. The artist's signature and the date "1966" are visible at the bottom.
