“Reclining Nude” is a 1921 work by the renowned artist Otto Dix, belonging to the Expressionist art movement. The artwork measures 47 x 64 cm and falls under the genre of nude painting (nu). Presently, it is held in a private collection. The artwork features a nude female figure reclining on a green surface against a contrasting dark background. The use of bold, dynamic brushstrokes and a vivid color palette is characteristic of Expressionism, a movement known for conveying emotional experiences rather than realistic depictions. The figure’s posture, with her right arm resting behind her head and her legs slightly bent, combined with her unguarded expression, invites an intimate reflection on the human form imbued with raw emotion and vulnerability.
