About this work
This drawing shows a group of nude women moving in space. Some stand, some sit, some lean—all look caught mid-motion. The lines are quick, energetic, almost nervous.
Alex Mylona often worked in sketch form first. She dated and signed this one right on the page. The figures feel alive, like they’re about to step off the paper.
If you like raw energy in lines, look up Mylona, Alex (1920-2016).
