Le Yack - The nude - Hand signed

An atelier corner bathed in pale-window light, flooded with stacks of books and art monographs. Squatting with back turned on the parquet, a brunette woman with a bun, completely nude, leafs through a large open volume on reproductions — cubist figures and portraits in vivid colors. To the right, framed, a Venus rising from the waters in Renaissance style. Semiotically, the painting is a meditation on representation: the real, living, fleshy body leans toward painted bodies, from the classical Venus to modern deconstructions — a silent dialogue between the model and the history of art that has always depicted her. The warm flesh tones contrast with the browns of the bindings and the gray of the wall; rich impasto on the flesh, an atelier texture in the great tradition of the female nude.
