Ugo Guidi, Figure in the sea (1970)

Indian ink, 50,2x35,6 cm
Florence, Galleria degli Uffizi, Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe

This Figure in the sea represents another woman at the seaside. The proportions are more athletic than those of Figures at the seaside: the waist is narrow, the breast is not falling, the shoulders are wide. So this is a young woman, maybe a swimmer, as her shoulders could make think of.
Her expression his a bit enygmatic: maybe the girl is observing something in front of her. Her head is round but crushed, the eyes are again two ellipsis: this way of representing the woman reminds the totem figures of the later Guidi's production, between the Sixties and the Seventies.
The sea is drawn with few waved signs of Indian ink.
