Description
In Nude (1938), Kahrimani opted for a conservative lineation for the body, leaving some bright openings at the points which are lit. The careful criss-cross engraving forms the frame, while the large black surface serves as the shadow of the body. What stands out in this work is the dynamic white surface around the nude, and it is there that Kachrimani concentrates all the light of the composition.
