Description
Charles DESPIAU (1874–1946) Reclining Nude Reproduction in the style of red chalk, signed in the bottom left-hand corner 32 x 24 cm Charles Despiau (1874–1946), a French sculptor, was one of the masters of the modern nude in the 20th century. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts, he broke with academic tradition to develop a refined, sensual and introspective style. His female nudes (Assia, Eve, Seated Young Woman) combine full volumes, fluid curves and a serene inner expression; they are influenced by Maillol but are more dynamic and psychological. He excels in the delicate modelling of the flesh and the depiction of vital tension.
