Known for his large oil nudes, Ladin worked mainly in California, especially in San Francisco and Los Angeles. This 1962 piece uses sculptural, blocky forms inspired by Picasso’s Neoclassical period, set against flat geometric backgrounds with dramatic studio lighting. Ladin’s textured technique and modernist aesthetic have made his work popular among collectors of Mid-Century Modern art and furnishings.
