On the same theme of nudeness: this 1985 piece is called Lines for obvious reasons, horizontal and vertical lines. The figures are there but they are near abstractions. Spooky on the post 'Romance' noted that the composition of that particular drawing was close to a Rubens painting 'Suzanna and the elders'. Tony knew Rubens' work since he visited his house in Antwerp, the churches where his work was and the museums. He applied the broad brush technique Rubens used and I guess that good compositions are of all times. Yet Tony did what he wanted to do so you have had a series of nudes from the pencil pusher to this light one, so you could see the wide range and differences in how Tony treated a theme.
