Nu de Profil 1936 - 1938

"Nu de Profil" (1936-1938) by Georges Rouault is a powerful depiction of the human form. Rouault, known for his expressive use of color and bold lines, captures the essence of a nude figure through a simplified and stylized approach. The figure is rendered in a range of warm, earthy tones, set against a background of contrasting greens and blues, suggesting a sense of intimacy and solitude. Rouault's signature thick, black outlines contribute to the work's raw and emotional intensity, echoing the artist's fascination with the human condition and the complexities of existence.
