About Le Repos du modèle

“Le Repos du modèle,” created by Wifredo Lam in 1938, is an artwork rendered in tempera on paper, measuring 155 x 146 cm. The piece belongs to the genre painting category and is a notable representation within the Cubism art movement.

The artwork portrays a reclining figure in a stylized and abstract manner characteristic of Cubism. The figure, depicted with fragmented forms and geometric planes, rests on what appears to be a striped surface. The background, comprised of muted tones of blue and gray, accentuates the form and position of the subject. The composition’s use of perspective and shape manipulation aligns with Cubist techniques, creating a dynamic yet contemplative scene.
