This expressive work features a seated nude female figure rendered in impasto acrylics, set against a dramatic red and teal backdrop. The focal point is a three-dimensional fabric collage—painted and affixed to the canvas—representing the subject’s draped lower body. The combination of painting and sculptural elements creates a visceral and tactile experience.

Signed “Helen Stein” on the lower edge of the canvas. This artwork is part of a collection of 20 original works by the artist, all sourced from the same place. Though a certificate of authenticity is not included, the back of each painting’s stretcher is stamped or labeled, indicating the artist’s New York origin.

Helen Stein (1896–1964) remains an enigmatic figure in art history. Though information is limited, she is known to have lived and worked in Russia, New York, and Massachusetts. Her bold and experimental approach to materials and figuration suggests a deep engagement with post-war expressionism and modernist traditions.

A powerful and rare example of Helen Stein’s multimedia work—ideal for collectors of outsider art, abstract expressionism, and avant-garde figurative painting.
