Lot Essay
Las pinturas que Anglada realizó en sus años parisinos se centraron en la vida nocturna que ofrecía la capital de Francia, con un énfasis especial en las jóvenes y atractivas mujeres elegantes. Habiendo tratado el cuerpo femenino de un modo más academicista, Anglada adopta una técnica imaginativa para representar a sus mujeres de un modo atrayente y teatral. Las líneas curvas y sinuosas, que trazan las figuras de las Huríes, crean un clima de poderosa seducción que capta y transmite el erotismo de la Belle Epoque parisina. El creativo uso del color con el que pinta el cuerpo desnudo de estas mujeres, resalta su sensualidad en una atmósfera de exótico placer. Anglada destruiría con posterioridad algunas de sus obras más sexuales y sólo han quedado, hoy en día, cuatro obras de sus Temas Eróticos, siendo Las Huríes la más importante. La venta de este cuadro supone una increíble oportunidad para disfrutar de un Anglada único que representa la visión más moderna de su obra.
The paintings that Anglada produced during his year in Paris are a true centred on nocturnal life and entertainment in the French capital, with a particular emphasis on contemporary women. Having studied the
traditional academic method of painting the female body, Anglada
adopted imaginative techniques to depict his women in an interesting
and decorative manner. The curving and sinuous lines of Las Huries gives them a wonderfully seductive pose that really captures the
eroticism of this era in Paris. The creative use of colour, which envelopes the nude reclining figures is designed to heighten the picture's sensuality and create an atmsophere of exotic pleasures.
This is the most important of only four surviving works in a series of sexually charged paintings (known as "Temas Eróticos"), most of which were later destroyed by the artist. The sale of Las Huríes therefore represents a fabulous opportunity to see a more unique side of Anglada's work in a painting that epitomises his modernist style.
