Ramon Casas I Carbó

Ramon Casas I Carbó is the author for this following piece called Nude with a guitar. Casas created this masterpiece on 1894 in Paris during a time of confliction and many terrorist attempts. Also, the medium of this work was oil on canvas and the dimensions are 46.3 x 56.6 cm. Furthermore, the following painting depicts vulnerability. The lady is on the floor demonstrating to the audience that she no longer has strength to stand up. In addition, the fact that she is nude also represents that she has nothing to cover her or protect from the outside world and all she can do now is surrender and reminisce on her past memories perhaps with someone she loved and that particular person was a musician or singer. Nonetheless, the color of the overall canvas seems to be very dissonant and melancholic. In other words, there is not much coloration going on except the contrast between her hair and her body and floor. Also, the guitar is the second item that stands out the most but as a whole the colors are not vibrant portraying
This particular artwork, which is based on equilibrium and symmetry, incorporates elements of nature and uses color in an obscure way. The artist, Tarsilla do Amaral, is well known for these particular characteristics. In addition, the dimensions of the canvas are w66.5 x h78 cm. The technique used was also oil on canvas and the provenance is Acervo Casa Guilherme de Almeida. This painting portrays balance and control. Every line is well painted and defined. There are no rough edges or smooth sections because verything is crucially symmetrical. Also, the colors used are phenomenal! Both plants are immensely vibrant and it brings out joy to the eye of the beholder. It has great contrast compared to the back window and the wall behind it. I love the emphasis and work put into each leaf. Each leaf tells a story and it shines on it’s own
