About the Item

Exquisitely drawn in pencil and a feather, light ink wash, creating a pale, ghostly image that is refined and haunting, this full length male nude was accomplished by Cecil de Blaquiere Howard, the extraordinarily accomplished Canadian-American-French sculptor. In 2017, Sotheby's in London sold a magnificent collection of Howard's sculpture, including a series of bronzes and plaster sculptures from the 1930s, featuring nude male figures, boxers and wrestlers, and it's clear that this drawing was made in connection to this series of sculptures. Howard was born in Canada and grew up in the United States, but he spent much of his productive years in Paris. He exhibited in the famous Armory Show of 1913 in New York City, and exhibited widely in France and the United States for the next several decades. Howard exhibited a male nude entitled "American Youth" at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1943, winning him the George D. Widener Memorial Gold Medal, and after serving in the war, he won the Legion of Honour from the French government. Though he was, like John Singer Sargent, a citizen of the world as much as America itself, he was elected President of the National Sculpture Society in the 1940s. The medium is graphite and ink wash on heavy paper mounted on artist board incised with a border by the artist.
