New Acquisition: "Hair Drying" (nd.) by Brent Malone

03/26/2019

Brent Malone's 'Hair Drying' was recently acquired by The D'Aguilar Art Foundation from the Charitable Arts Foundation's annual art auction: and what a find!

Donated by Malone's daughter, Marysa Malone, from her own collection, this piece encapsulates Malone's mastery of the human form. Unlike his male figures, which were often brimming with strength and sensuality, Malone often rendered female subjects with a hand of vulnerability and subtle beauty. "Hair Drying" certainly fits into this category: turned away from the viewer, it seems as if we are spying on a private moment and are witnessing the subject's beauty from afar.
