La femme nue

Product Information

Yet it did, finally resolving a dark chapter that had engulfed the picture since the Second World War. This extremely beautiful late nude should take its place in the European tradition of reclining nudes in interior settings seen since the Renaissance in the works of Titian (1485-1576), Rubens (1577-1640), Goya (1746-1828) Ingres (1780-1867) and Manet (1832-1883). He did a training in Fine arts at the Complutense University in Madrid, and obtained his bachelors degree. With Marie-Thérèse a more constant presence in Picasso’s life by the beginning of 1931 her image, which had up until this point remained coded and concealed in his art, began to saturate his sculpture and painting in radiant, euphoric form.

The legacy of Courbet’s Realism (capitalized to acknowledge the painter’s ground-breaking manifesto) includes brilliant admirers - Delacroix, Manet, van Gogh and Freud - but it is not a simple one, and is delivered as much by subject as by style. Numbered from the edition of 75 in the lower right, this work was published by Verve and printed by Mourlot, Paris. Once she departed for Paris at the end of the weekend, Marie-Thérèse bicycled in, and the pair spent a joyful week together, holed up in this blissful refuge, rapturous in each other’s company.Other uses, including exhibition catalogue and display, broadcast, advertising, book jackets and commercial packaging, are covered by our commercial terms.

Hoog, Michel ; Guicharnaud, Hélène ; Giraudon, Colette, Musée de l’Orangerie : catalogue de la collection Jean Walter et Paul Guillaume, 3ème éd. In the present composition, Picasso demonstrates his adept draughtsmanship and the expressive nature of his line, whilst areas of pentimenti offer a rare window into the working process of the master of modern art. In Freud’s case this lineage is mediated by Courbet, a fact driven home not only by his magisterial Standing by the Rags (Tate) but also by a witty 1992 photograph, taken by Bruce Bernard, of Freud and Leigh Bowery posing in an homage to L’Atelier du peintre of 1854-55, the 19th century master’s assault on the sensibilities of the Paris art establishment, which was displayed by Courbet in his own, irritatingly proximate exhibition to the 1855 Salon, after its rejection from the same.By the turn of the 19th century, the French academic tradition had, to some extent, become an international style, witnessed by the American John Vanderlyn’s Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos, 1809-14 (Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts), which like Courbet’s Femme Nue Couchée, engages in the business of coming to terms with illustrious Renaissance predecessors. What is somewhat harder is to grasp the range of his enterprise, and the manner in which apparently different subjects and themes – certainly according to the 19th century canon – are interlaced in a manner that gives real coherence to his overall corpus. In this ‘year of wonders’, Picasso produced the most sensuous depictions of his great muse and lover Marie-Thérèse Walter, who would inspire some of the artist’s most iconic images. An exhibition at Tate Modern four years ago was devoted to Picasso’s output in 1932, in particular his intense portraits of Walter. The painting in the Musée de l’Orangerie depicts Gabrielle, whom the Renoirs had engaged her to look after their children, and who quickly became one of the painter’s favourite models.
