More about this artwork
This painting, "Standing Female Nude" by Edvard Weie, presents a fascinating study in form, color, and composition. The artwork features a female nude in a standing pose, leaning forward slightly with one arm resting on what appears to be a table or pedestal. Intriguingly abstract, Weie's use of rough, visible brushwork adds a vibrant texture and dynamism to the scene.The background and the elements surrounding the figure are composed of various geometric shapes and blocks of color that intersect and overlap, creating a layered effect. This use of abstraction is characteristic of early 20th-century European painting, reflecting elements of Cubism with its fragmented approach to objects and space.To the left, there is a dark shadowy area that could be interpreted as another figure or perhaps a draped cloth, adding depth and a sense of environment. A bowl of fruits, discernible mostly by the green orb-like shapes, rests on the surface beside the figure, suggesting a domestic or studio setting as is common in traditional nudes which include symbolic or everyday objects.Color plays a pivotal role in this piece; the varying shades of cream, white, and light blue on the nude's body contrast starkly against the rich, dark browns, and reds of the background, highlighting the central figure.

A collection of paintings by Danish Modernist painter Edvard Weie (1879-1943). Weie was a master of landscapes, street scenes, and art nudes, and his paintings showcase his unique artistic style. Weie was heavily influenced by his teacher Kristian Zahrtmann and the modern art movement while enrolled at Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler in Copenhagen. His later works became increasingly abstract in nature as he revised his concepts over and over.
