Striking charcoal drawing by renowned Colombian artist Luis Caballero, celebrated as one of the great masters of the male nude in 20th-century figurative art. This evocative work depicts the male torso from the back, rendered with Caballero’s signature sensitivity to anatomy, tension, and emotional presence.
Executed in expressive charcoal on paper, the composition highlights muscular structure through confident, fluid linework and subtle shading. The result is both intimate and powerful — a hallmark of Caballero’s deeply human approach to the figure.
The drawing is signed and dated in the lower right and is professionally framed in a textured dark wood frame with a contrasting inner liner and black mat, creating a gallery-ready presentation.
About the Artist
Luis Caballero studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris (1963–64) and relocated permanently to Paris in 1969. His work was widely exhibited internationally, including in New York, Paris, Washington D.C., Lisbon, Berlin, Bogotá, and Caracas.
Caballero is best known for his intense and lyrical depictions of the male nude, exploring themes of vulnerability, desire, and the physicality of the human body. His works are held in major museum and private collections worldwide.
As noted by the Nohra Haime Gallery (New York):
“One of the great masters of the male nude in the 20th century, Caballero captures his human subjects with a combination of veracity, eroticism, harmony, and passion.”
