The artwork titled “Nude,” executed by the artist Amedeo Modigliani, belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of nude painting (nu). Created using pencil on paper, this piece is housed in a private collection.
The artwork features a stylized representation of a reclining nude figure with elongated forms and simplistic, yet evocative lines. The subject’s pose is relaxed, with arms raised above the head, contributing to the serene and introspective mood typical of Modigliani’s work. The use of minimal shading emphasizes the linear quality of the figure, while the contours skillfully capture the human form. The absence of detailed background elements directs the viewer’s attention entirely towards the subject, further accentuated by the expressive rendering of the facial features which encapsulate the essence of Expressionism.
