DESCRIPTION
French school; 20th century.
"Nue en bleu", 1997.
Mixed media on canvas.
Signed in the upper left corner. Signed, dated and titled on the back.
Measurements: 100 x 79 cm; 103 x 82 cm (frame).
The composition presents a central figure suggested rather than defined, which evokes a female nude body, interpreted through a rich superposition of chromatic layers. Ocher, reddish and bluish tones predominate, intertwined in a dense and pasty texture, characteristic of a material treatment typical of French modern art.
The background, structured in vertical forms and arches, insinuates an architectural space that encloses the figure, giving it an introspective and monumental air. The free and impastoed brushstroke, together with the integration of complementary colors, reveals an expressive rather than descriptive search, placing the work in the field of lyrical abstract expressionism or French post-war painting, where the sensuality of color and matter replace realistic representation.
