More about this artwork

"Nude and Cupid" by Jules Pascin, created around 1920, enchants its viewers with a tender yet provocative scene that merges whimsy with earnest human expression. Pascin, known for his evocative and sometimes melancholic depictions of women, presents in this painting a stunning nude figure, her gaze pensive and almost introspective as she makes eye contact with her audience. The placement and posture of the figure suggest both vulnerability and serenity, her body curved gently, exuding an air of quiet confidence.The accompanying figure of Cupid, small yet dynamic, adds a playfully mythical touch to the composition. Positioned on the nude's shoulder, Cupid prepares to launch his arrow, embodying the eternal symbol of love and desire. This interaction adds layers of meaning to the piece, highlighting themes of love, innocence, and perhaps the duality of human nature towards affection—both the giving and receiving of love.Surrounding the central figures is a deep blue background, vibrantly complemented with a decorative floral and vine motif in lush green with subtle hints of red and coral blooms. These elements frame the subjects in a dream-like aura, enhancing the ethereal quality of the scene. Pascin's choice of bold, contrasting colors adds vibrancy to the piece, while the soft rendering of the figures suggests a gentle, dreamlike quality."Nude and Cupid" remains a compelling exploration of human emotion and mythology, woven into a tapestry of color and form that resonates with the viewer on a deeply personal level.

Nudes, street scenes and landscapes of women and tropical locations by Bulgarian-born American painter Jules Pascin (1885-1930). Born to an affluent family, Pascin was educated in Austria and Germany before moving to Paris in 1905. It was there that he became associated with the Modernist movement. He attached himself to the human condition and was known for painting portraits of nude and half-dressed women. He stands in the grand tradition of the romantic, bohemian artist.
