We are grateful to Mr. Erik La Prade for his assistance in cataloguing this work.
The present work is from a series of anatomical studies, Interior Landscapes, begun shortly after Tchelitchew's 1942 retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art. Tchelitchew portrayed various parts of the human anatomy such as the head, the ear, and the skull in Translucent Renderings. The present work is an excellent example of the head rendered as an individual universe, undefiled by physical decay.
