Title
Man Bending Over
Description
Composition in black and white. Lines defining outlines, shading defining volume. In the center area of the composition, a man figure against white background, profile to the right, his torso bent over, setting almost a ninety degree angle with the rest of the body. The figure is vigorous and muscles are ripped. The head is in the horizontal line of the composition, hair hanging forward, naked torso, pants rolled up to just below the knees, legs spread, bare feet, arms down, as if to pick up something from the floor; only the right arm is visible. Light falling from from left side of the composition, lighting up the back.
