Description
Imposing original oil painting by Carles Got, a Barcelona-based painter of the postwar generation, firmly rooted in the great Catalan figurative tradition connected to artists such as Isidre Nonell, Joaquim Sunyer, Josep de Togores, and Rafael Benet, in its most intimate and silent expression.
The work depicts a large-scale female nude seen from the back, with strong mural presence, executed with confident and deeply human painting. The figure appears withdrawn and introspective, constructed with a rich, nuanced impasto that reveals a solid command of anatomy and direct work from the live model.
The treatment of the back, neck, and hand demonstrates notable pictorial craftsmanship, while the restrained palette of earth tones, greyish greens, and muted blues situates the painting within the sphere of Barcelonan intimism, far removed from cold academicism and decorative genre painting. The background, handled with greater freedom, enhances the figure’s volume and presence.
This type of restrained and elegant nude was cultivated by several Catalan artists of the period as an alternative to more commercial genre painting, in pursuit of a serene, reflective, and timeless beauty.
Brief Biography
Carles Got was a painter active in Barcelona during the central decades of the 20th century. Trained within the postwar artistic context, he developed a body of work focused on the human figure, particularly the female nude and interior scenes, always approached with an intimate and sober gaze. His painting is characterized by respect for craft, direct oil technique, and a modern figurative language, removed from passing fashions and theoretical discourse.
Although he did not enjoy major institutional exposure, his work fits squarely within the tradition of 20th-century Catalan figuration and is now appreciated by collectors seeking solid, honest painting with sensitivity.
