Nonda, Epaminondas Papadopoulos dit (1922-2005) Black figure circa 1970 Acrylic and mixed media on canvas signed on the back 116 x 89 cm Provenance: > Private collection, Paris Exhibitions: > Exhibition under the arches of the Pont du Carousel, Paris, 1971 > Nonda - Six Decades of Art 1940-2000, retrospective at the Benaki Foundation, from December 14, 2006 to February 18, 2007, Athens At the end of the 1960s, after several exhibitions at the Galerie Charpentier in Paris, Nonda embarked on a new, more dramatic form of expression. In 19??, the artist exhibited several of his abstract expressionist canvases, including the one presented here, from which emerges a free and gestural painting of great power. This Black Figure, created by Nonda after a half-year stay in New York, is highly representative of the artist's desire to magnify the female form through abstraction.
