Description

The painting ** female naked (1897) ** of Félix Vallotton invites a deep and leisurely contemplation. Faced with the serenity of the work, one is caught not only for the beauty of the nude, but for the intricate wealth of its composition. Vallotton, a Swiss artist associated with both post -impressionism and the Les Nabis movement, manages to create a seductive and contemplative atmosphere through this oil on canvas.

The piece presents a naked woman, sitting in a serene and contemplative posture. His figure is shown with a naturalness stripped of artifice and decorum, highlighting the mastery of Vallotton in the capture of human anatomy. There are no distraction elements around; The neutral and dark background of the room further highlights the clarity and purity of the model's skin, directing all the viewer's attention to her.

The lighting in the figure is subtle but effective; The soft shadows delineate the contours and provide a convincing three -dimensionality to the work. The pale skin tones effectively contrast with the dark background, creating a contrast that not only frames the figure, but also emphasizes its delicacy and vulnerability.

The emphasis on the form and line is characteristic in the work of Vallotton, who was also an consummated engraver. This can be seen in the precision with which he delineated the contours of the body, suggesting some influence of the techniques of engraving in their approach to this painting. The author's respect for the human form is evident, avoiding falling into the vulgar or excessively erotic, which adds an almost reverential character to the piece.

The lack of distracting elements allows a more intimate and direct connection with the figure represented. This approach to the purity of the form and the economy of color is congruent with the ethos of Les Nabis, who sought to synthesize artistic elements and raise art to new emotional introspections.

In addition to its powerful use of color and the line, female naked reflects Vallotton's ability to capture internal moods. Although the model maintains a neutral expression, the general atmosphere of the painting suggests a calm and introspection that invite the viewer to a similar reflection.

In the context of Félix Vallotton's work, this piece fits perfectly with its explorations of the human figure and its domain of light and shadow. Compared to other nude works, such as ** La Blanca and La Negra ** or ** naked sleeping on a divan **, this painting is distinguished by its simplicity and focus on the individual form.

In short, ** female naked (1897) ** is a testimony of Felix Vallotton's skill and his ability to combine the meticulous technique with an introspective and emotional exploration, offering the viewer a rich and enveloping aesthetic experience.
