Nu étendu

1917
Not on view
C’est en 1917 que Modigliani entreprend sa grande série de nus. Il peint les femmes en gros plan, souvent vues légèrement en plongée, les corps stylisés monopolisant la largeur de la composition. La literie de couleur sombre accentue l’éclat de leur peau. Leurs pieds et leurs mains sont toujours hors champ. Certaines dorment, mais la plupart, comme celle-ci, regardent le spectateur. Par ces œuvres, l’artiste s’inscrit dans la tradition de la Vénus nue, qui remonte à la Renaissance et se maintient pendant tout le XIXe siècle.
