SUZANNE VALADON. reclining nude

Reclining Nude. Artist: Suzanne Valadon (French, Bessines-sur-Gartempe 1865-1938 Paris). Dimensions: 23 5/8 x 31 11/16 in.. Date: 1928.
Suzanne Valadon posed as a model for the artists
Renoir, Degas, and Toulouse-Lautrec before she began
painting herself in 1893. While she favored still-lives
and portraits, Valadon is best known for her paintings
of female nudes--a subject rarely chosen by women
painters at the time. The reclining nude in the present
painting confronts the viewer through her gaze and
proximity to the picture plane, yet she obscures her
body, crossing her legs and covering her breasts. The
pose evokes gestures of modesty associated with
classical Antique sculpture.
