CESARE MONTI
(Brescia, 1891 ~ Bellano, Como, 1959)
Reclining nude, 1950
Oil on canvas 48×79 cm
Cesare Monti tried his hand at the subject of the nude rather late, not being able to count on an academic preparation, but from the second half of the 1920s he demonstrated all his talent by creating notable nude paintings.
This work, probably created in 1950, shows us the fluidity achieved by Cesare Monti's drawing and brushwork, confident and free from uncertainty, supported by a lively and solid palette.
The girl watches the viewer mischievously, lying comfortably between the cushions in the painter's atelier.
