" Nude with a White Scarf "
Paris, 1909
Huile sur toile | Oil on canvas
SMK, National Gallery of Denmark Collection Johannes Rump, 1928
Matisse painted Nude with a White Scarf in spring 1909, at his studio in the Couvent du Sacré-Coeur. The work was based on life studies of the professional model Loulou Brouty, who posed for several of his paintings that year. Matisse extensively modified the figure, shifting its position multiple times while making this painting. Traces of the former stages remain visible on the finished canvas, especially evident as dark areas around the model's legs and left arm. In The Red Studio, the figure assumes a more horizontal position than in the original. At the same time, the dark elements of the painting have been omitted and its intensity reduced.
