Nude Trio: Poster

Nude Trio: Poster, a charcoal or pastel drawing by R.C. Gorman, presents three female nudes rendered in classical academic style with remarkable sensitivity and technical virtuosity. The composition shows three intertwined figures in soft luminous charcoal and pastel tones of white, cream, and warm gray against a neutral background. The figures are rendered with anatomical precision yet graceful abstraction, their forms overlapping and interlocking to create compositional rhythm. Each figure’s face and body are drawn with delicate attention to light and form, creating dimensional volume and presence despite the monochromatic palette. Gorman’s line work remains assured and expressive even in this more traditional academic mode. The work demonstrates the artist’s classical training and mastery of the human form across diverse mediums. A rare offering for collectors seeking Gorman’s explorations of universal figure study beyond his celebrated indigenous portraiture.
