The artwork named “Nude and African Drum,” created by Philip Pearlstein in 2006, belongs to the Contemporary Realism art movement and falls within the genre of nude painting (nu).
In the artwork, a nude female figure is prominently displayed, sitting with crossed legs atop an intricately detailed African drum. The attention to realism is evident in the meticulous rendering of the figure’s skin tone and form, as well as the texture and structure of the drum. The background features a blend of colors and patterns that contribute to the overall composition, further highlighting the central subjects. The piece exemplifies the contemporary realist approach, with an acute focus on detail and lifelike representation.
