New Mexico Nude

A striking reimagining of Fritz Henle's iconic 1936 photograph of model Nieves Orozco, known for her collaborations with Diego Rivera, utilizing Fall's innovative 'Planeism' technique to transform the classic image into a contemporary geometric composition. The piece cleverly incorporates New Mexico symbolism through the Zia sun symbol and a warm southwestern color palette, while maintaining the dramatic profile and powerful presence that made Henle's original photograph so captivating. Created in 2014 as the artist returned to his practice after completing physical therapy studies, this work demonstrates how Fall's signature style can bridge historical fine art photography with modern geometric abstraction.
