Woman on a Blue Divan 1947

"Woman on a Blue Divan" is a 1947 artwork by Hungarian artist Janos Mattis-Teutsch (1884-1960). The nude figure of a woman lies on a blue divan, creating a striking contrast of light and shadow. The simplicity of the composition and the flatness of the forms are characteristic of Mattis-Teutsch's style, which was influenced by both Art Deco and Art Nouveau. The work evokes a sense of quietude and intimacy, inviting viewers to contemplate the human form and its relationship to the surrounding space.
