Le Divan, a classical oil painting on cardboard from France, dated 1950–1960, 32 × 41 cm, weighing 3.0 kg, unsigned, original edition, sold with frame by Galería.
Description from the seller
- Oil on cardboard. Establishment stamp of Fine Arts on the back.
- Golden-marbled Muses of Matissian style lying on Aleppo silks, your body reclines in a perfect synthesis of color and contour, where Cubist heritage softens into the sensuality of the stroke. Framed in a patinated gray that enhances its vibrant palette, this small post-Caillist nude not only challenges traditional perspective with its facet-cut planes of ochre and turquoise blue, but also evokes the exuberant spirit of Fauvism. The model, with her back to us and her head resting on an arm, merges with an environment of bold bands of coral, red and emerald, transforming the canvas into a field of pure visual expression. It is not merely a figure at rest, but a chant to plastic freedom, where the pasty texture and radical simplification reveal a deep reflection on light and volume that, far from pure abstraction, celebrates the immediacy of living form.
- Image dimensions without frame: 33 x 23 cm / 41 x 32 cm with exclusive custom frame.
