Elvira Bach, Mixed Media, Female Nude with Accessories, 1981
The present female nude is the work of the German artist Elvira Bach and dates from 1981. As to the theme, the arrangement and the coloring, the neo-expressionist composition is a typical work of the artist. In her artworks, Elvira Bach frequently reflects thoughts of her own life. In the present work, executed in gouache over an offset lithograph, the female figure is surrounded by various household items. The artist possibly deals here with her own domestic private life, which is a recurring subject in her work of the early 1980s.
