The artwork titled “NYMPH GRAMMOPHONE (from the Lohengrin Cycle)” was created by Ernst Fuchs in 1978. It belongs to the Fantastic Realism art movement and is categorized within the genre of nude painting (nu).
The artwork depicts a reclining nude female figure with a serene and contemplative expression, set against a dark background. She rests on a classically designed, red-hued chaise longue that emphasizes the contrast of her pale complexion. The figure’s hair, an unusual and striking red, adds an element of surrealism and intensity to the composition. The meticulous detailing and the interplay of light and shadow exemplify the characteristics of the Fantastic Realism movement, bringing forth an ethereal and almost dreamlike quality to the scene. The overall composition creates a harmonious balance between the figure and her surroundings, showcasing the technical prowess and imaginative vision of Ernst Fuchs.
