Noureddine Khayachi
Khayachi was passionately interested in the geography of the human figure, which in its perfection symbolised the mysterious, mystic origin of creation. The female nude inspired some magnificent sketches. “Meditating Nude” strips naked not just the model but Khayachi himself in all his delicate sensuality. And the pastel sketch itself is enchanting, one of Khayachi’s best achievements, a work of beauty, power, mystery, light, darkness, contrast, seductivity and grace.
