Dockside Nude is such a remarkably serene image that the viewer can almost hear the crickets chirping in the distance and the wind moving through the tall grasses beyond. At the heart of this image is a nude elegantly draped across the dock steps, seamlessly integrated into the vista and also seemingly at ultimate peace with her world. About the Artist Known for his exquisite vision of the erotic feminine form, self-taught Russian photographer Arkadiy Kozlovskiy (b. 1964, Germany − d. 2014, Russia) came to his art late in life. Nevertheless, within a short span of merely three years he would become highly regarded, and sought after for his enchanting portraits of desire, embodied in pictures of sumptuously striking nudes.
