About Nude

The artwork, titled “Nude,” was created by Francis Picabia in 1942. This painting, executed with oil on cardboard, measures 105 x 76 cm and belongs to the art movement Kitsch. The genre of the artwork is a nude painting (nu). Currently, it resides in a private collection.

In the artwork, a nude female figure stands against a dark background, her skin rendered in warm, glowing tones. The light casts soft yet defined shadows across her body, accentuating her natural curves. Her facial expression exudes a contemplative, almost detached demeanor, with her lips painted in a deep red contrasting against her pale skin. The woman’s pose, with one arm bent and the other resting at her hip, conveys a sense of strength and presence. The detailed and lifelike quality of the painting epitomizes the artist’s mastery in capturing human anatomy and emotional subtlety.
