About the work

A female nude is depicted from behind in loose, expressive pastel strokes, her form rendered in warm amber, yellow, and pink against a grey-toned striped background. The gestural linework and layered colour patches convey a raw, immediate energy typical of observational figure study.

About the artist

Louis Robert Arthar — Pastel on Paper , 25 × 50 cm (representative image)
Louis Robert Arthar

Spain

Louis Robert Arthur Latapie (1891–1972) was a French painter, illustrator, and decorator known for his contributions to Cubism and modern figurative art. Born in Toulouse, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Jean-Paul Laurens and later attended the Académie Julian, where he befriended Cubist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz. At the Académie Ranson, Latapie was influenced by Paul Sérusier and collaborated with artists like Max Jacob and Jean Metzinger, immersing himself in Cubist research.

In 1922, Latapie began exhibiting his Cubist works alongside Jacques Villon, the brother of Marcel Duchamp. In 1925, he moved to Toulon and founded a free academy with Juan Gris, embracing the vibrant southern light that influenced his artistic palette. Throughout his career, Latapie's work was fully integrated into the Cubist movement, reflecting his receptiveness to innovative artistic trends.

Latapie's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions and have achieved significant recognition in the art market. His paintings are known for their dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color, contributing to the evolution of modern art in the 20th century.
