description: "Eldzier Cortor was an American artist and printmaker. His work typically features elongated nude figures in intimate settings, influenced by both traditional African art and European surrealism. He is known for his style of realism that makes accurate depictions of poor, Black living conditions look fantastic as he distorts perspective."
