Ignacio Pinazo Camerlench - Female Nude [1902]

Ignacio Pinazo Camerlench - Female Nude [1902], a photo by Gandalf's Gallery on Flickr.

This portrait of a nude young woman sitting in an armchair with her clothing falling to her feet and a certain gesture of modesty betrays the artist's satisfaction with the subject of nudes and the sensuality of the female body. The colouring tends towards reds and yellows and is one of the singular elements of this nude, which is one of several painted by Pinazo. Here, the amount of paint seems to build the model's body with very dense and paint-laden brushstrokes that distinguish it from the background. This work was acquired for the Museum of Modern Art in 1957, along with other paintings by the same artist.
