Nude Fixing Her Hair (Nu se coiffant) 1933

"Nude Fixing Her Hair (Nu se coiffant)" is a 1933 etching by the French artist Jacques Villon (1875-1963). The image is of a nude woman, rendered in a cubist style. Her body is fragmented and depicted from multiple angles, highlighting the artist's interest in formal composition and the interplay of light and shadow. The background features a series of interlocking lines and grids, reflecting the artist's fascination with geometric forms and abstract patterns. Villon's etching is a powerful example of the evolution of Cubism in the early 20th century and a testament to the artist's mastery of the intaglio printing process.
