Odalisque, Matisse inspired Female Nude in Repose.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Matisse inspired oil on board of a Senegalese female nude by French artist Myrto Debard. Signed bottom right, presented in gilt wood and cloth frame.
This captivating artwork features a reclining figure, rendered in a palette dominated by rich blues and purples. The subject is portrayed with exquisite attention to form and texture, set against a vibrant red background adorned with abstract floral patterns. The interplay of cool and warm colors creates a striking contrast, enhancing the sensuality and tranquility of the scene. The artist skillfully captures the contours of the figure with soft, flowing lines, providing a sense of movement and depth. This composition draws the viewer into an intimate, serene world, where the harmony of colors and the elegance of form invite contemplation. The use of light and shadow adds a three-dimensional quality to the figure, contributing to the piece's timeless beauty and emotional resonance. This work stands out for its bold color choices and expressive portrayal, leaving a lasting impression.
