Act (Bather)

The work is part of a series of lithographs published by Ernst Vasmut's publishing house in Berlin in 1921. The folder contained 14 works from two thematic blocks: acts and still lifes. The basis of this lithograph is the 1919 Paris drawing by A. Archipenko. Researchers draw attention to the characteristic solidity and constructive stability of the figure of the bather - these techniques betray the "sculptural" volumetric mentality of the author. Also, there is a double contour inherent in the drawings of Arkhipenko and different types of hatching are used.
