Upright Nude with Arched Back
Collioure, 1906-1907
Terre cuite | Terracotta
Collection particulière | Private collection
Upright Nude with Arched Back is one of several small statuettes of female nudes that Matisse made during his Fauve period. The sculpture's original source was a photograph of an unnamed model, published in Mes modèles, one of several contemporary magazines that provided such photos for artists' use. The mannered pose is typical of the images in these publications, which were more explicitly erotic than the poses of live models in a classroom or studio setting
This mutilated terracotta sculpture was recently rediscovered among the belongings of Matisse's son Jean. Its head and forearms are now lost, but the figure has retained its principal features. In The Red Studio, the figure appears with its back toward the viewer, entwined in stems protruding from the vase beside it. Matisse has carefully reproduced the figure's raised arms and bent knees.
