A sanguine chalk drawing on paper by well-listed artist Beth Hertz (Dayton/New York, b. 1920). This pair of figure studies depicts one gesture drawing of a posed figure as well as a more fully-rendered study of the same nude model. The work is unsigned and marked to the lower right with the artist’s embossed estate stamp. The work is presented unframed with a protective acetate sleeve.

Beth Hertz studied with Stanton MacDonald-Wright and was influenced by early 20th-century Synchromism, a modernist American movement that explored the relationship between color and music. Hertz studied at the Art Students League in New York, the Dayton Art Institute, and received her MFA at Ohio University. Her paintings have been collected by museums as well as private and corporate collections in New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Iowa and California.
