The art of the nude
Modern and Contemporary.
Figurative or abstract.
"From figurative to abstraction, the art of the nude combines over time, over styles, over media, whether paintings, engravings, silver or digital photographs. Beauty is offered without criteria, without benchmarks, just by the gesture of an inspired artist.
Artists from the School of Paris came from all countries after the war of 39-45 when the city still benefited from the aura of a beacon of international arts.
For Asia, we will cite the Japanese Key Hiraga and Kojiro Akagi, the Singaporean Kam Zin Choon, the delicate Chinese literature Zhu Xinjian and his exquisite Golden Lotus Lady Tea, the South Koreans like Moon Shin, the Europeans Baumgartner, the Italian Di Sciullo and his magnificent “Nude à La Jaguar”, a powerful canvas of 120 figures. But let's leave the history of art here to let your personal collector's eye discover what makes you dream."
