Male Nude 7, 1962, by R.C. Gorman, presents a standing male figure with one arm raised, rendered in bold charcoal and ink on tan paper. The dynamic pose conveys movement and vitality, with the figure’s musculature energetically defined through expressive line and shadow. Gorman captures anatomical structure with confidence, employing gestural mark-making that suggests both classical training and contemporary energy. The warm paper tone grounds the composition while dark lines describe form. This significant early work demonstrates Gorman’s mastery of figurative drawing during a formative period. Essential for collectors of Gorman’s career development, figure studies, and modernist drawing.
