About the Item
Graphite on paper
Signed lower right
Description
This reclining nude is executed with sculptural sensitivity, the figure’s contours defined by soft gradations of graphite. The body appears simultaneously weighty and fluid, its rhythms echoing classical poses while embracing a distinctly modern stylization. The composition is intimate yet monumental, emphasizing the harmony between figure and surrounding space.
Context
Legacy
Mid-century American drawing saw a renewed interest in the human form, often distilled into simplified volumes and expressive outlines. Works such as this one reflect a dialogue between European modernism and American figurative practice, suggesting influences ranging from Picasso to the Bay Area figurative movement.
Collector’s Note
With its refined shading and confident design, this drawing embodies a timeless approach to the nude. It is both study and artwork—an exploration of form that resonates with collectors of modern figurative work.

"Mighty Resignation" Black and White Contemporary Drawing by Mac Mechem
Located in Pasadena, CA
This Mac Mechem's drawing features a seated nude man draped in a small loincloth. Sitting in a wood-crafted chair, his gaze fixed downward as though he were brooding over some bad news. Despite the defeatist posture, his physique radiates a stark contrast—the sculpted body exudes strength and athleticism through pronounced abdominal lines, robust thighs, and defined biceps. Both hands rest passively on his knees, amplifying the sense of resignation portrayed in the artwork.
The artist signed in the lower right part of the artwork.
