Ugo Guidi, Nude man (1959)

Indian ink, 35,1x25 cm
Forte dei Marmi, Museo Ugo Guidi

This is another drawing from the "sculptor" Ugo Guidi. We said that Guidi was accustomed to represent subjects in drawings with few lines given with pen or pencil: this happens because drawings are, for a sculptor, a study of the sculptures before they are realized with the solid material. So this happens even in Guidi's drawings, especially during the first years, when drawings are not totally independent from sculpture.
This Nude man is a drawing made by a scultpor, a study: is a sinewy man and even if he is drawn with few signs we can see all his characteristics. A reversed triangle is the robust back, the shoulders are wide and the waist is narrow, the right biceps is stretched because the man is supporting himself on his right arm, while the left one, which hugs his athletic legs, is relaxed. The head is drawn with few signs, and the hair is only drawn with an arch starting from the forehead and finishing in the nape.
