La Source 1941

"La Source" (1941) by Maurice Denis depicts a nude woman reclining in a lush landscape. The painting's stylized forms and bright colors are characteristic of the Nabi movement, a late-19th-century art group that Denis co-founded. Denis's simplified, decorative style emphasized the beauty of line and form, as seen in the woman's flowing lines and the lush foliage. "La Source" exemplifies the Nabi's focus on color and pattern, offering a visually arresting and evocative depiction of nature and the human form.
