拍品专文

Feeling that Cubism had been exploited and developed as fully as possible, Picasso returned to the figurative and Femme nue debout appuyée falls into this era. The human figure as the main subject matter began to dominate his work. Linear austerity being a feature of late eighteenth century art, this new development of Picasso's was aligned with the movement of Neoclassicism. In particular the period from 1921 to 1924 falls into this category and the present work is a fine example of Picasso's dialogue with the Antique. At the time, the Catalan writer Eugenio D'Ors declared that what was fundamental in Picasso's work was 'his Italianism... not that of today, but that of the best periods. This is what he shares with Raphael, Mantegna, Leonardo... Picasso is an Italian painter. Probably the only Italian painter today' (E. D'Ors, Diario europeo, M. Puccini (ed.), Rome, 1946, p. 150).
