The artwork, titled “Torse de femme avec mains,” was created by the artist Le Corbusier in the year 1948. It is part of the Cubism art movement and falls within the genre of nude painting (nu).
This composition displays abstract qualities characteristic of the Cubist style, with its fragmented forms and bold, geometric shapes. The female torso is centrally positioned, rendered with dynamic lines and vibrant colors, predominantly in hues of blue, red, and yellow. The use of contrasting colors and angular forms creates a sense of depth and movement. The abstract representation of the hands and the torso evokes both sensuality and strength. The background complements the figure, suggesting an almost surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. The entire piece harmonizes elements of abstraction and human form, demonstrating Le Corbusier’s distinctive approach to art.
