Nu noir 1926

"Nu noir" (1926) by Jean Fautrier is a haunting portrait of a nude figure rendered in a somber palette of blues and grays. The figure is barely visible against the dark background, creating a sense of mystery and isolation. Fautrier's signature textured style, reminiscent of impasto, gives the painting a rough and gritty feel, adding to its dramatic effect. This work is a powerful example of Fautrier's exploration of the human form in a raw and expressive manner.
