Nude 1938

Alexandre Jacovleff's "Nude" is a striking figure study executed in 1938, the year of the artist's death. The painting, characterized by loose brushwork and a sense of immediacy, portrays a nude woman in a seated pose. The figure's face is partly obscured by a mask-like application of paint, highlighting the artist's interest in exploring the human form through a stylized and expressive lens. The vibrant colors and suggestive imagery create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, typical of Jacovleff's artistic approach. The painting is a testament to the artist's enduring legacy as a significant figure in the Russian avant-garde movement.
