"Tea for Two" Oil Painting 43" x 55" inch by Valery Mishin
Located in Culver City, CA
"Tea for Two" Oil Painting 43" x 55" inch by Valery Mishin Valery Mishin was born in Simferopol in 1939. He graduated from the Sverdlovsk Art College in 1962, and the Mukhins Leningrad Higher School of Art and Industry, painting faculty, in 1968. He is a member of the Artists Union of Russia, a member of the UNESCO International Federation of Artists. He is one of the greatest masters of modern art. Valery Mishin is engaged in easel graphics, book graphics, and printing, paintings, objects, installations, ex-libris. He has participated in more than 300 exhibitions in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other Russian cities, as well as abroad - in Warsaw, Ghent, London, Mainz, Mexico City, Paris, Stockholm, etc. since 1966. More than 20 of them are one-man exhibitions including the one in the Central Exhibition Hall "Manege". He is a prize-winner of several foreign exhibitions. He was awarded the special prize of the House of Humour and Satire in Gabrovo in 1987, Grand Prix of the I International Biennial of Graphic Art in St. Petersburg in 2002. The artist has illustrated and designed over 50 books. Following the tradition of modernism in his work, Valery Mishin is extraordinarily diverse in book graphics and ex-libris. Some of his illustrations are made traditionally, others are conceptual, some are created in the method that the artist himself called "ReRealizm" or "Off-realism" (from the English. «ReRe» «Residual Realism»). The artist makes prints from real objects, plants, fish and creates a variety of compositions, turning these items into the plane of the sheet. His illustrations to "The Queen of Spades" by A. Pushkin and "Dzhakomeron" by T. Bukovskaya, which were made especially for the publishing house "Rare Books from St. Petersburg", are recognized now as a classic of book illustration art...

'Security' Conceptual Nude Portrait
Located in Rye, NY
‘Security’ is a large framed contemporary surrealist figurative oil on canvas painting of vertical format, created by Vietnamese artist Dinh Y Nhi in 2010. Featuring a cold palette mostly made of grey and black tones, accented with blue and beige touches, the painting depicts a frontal view of a nude figure. This piece exemplifies Y Nhi's style of paintings as her success with two-colors; red, blue or black and white, addresses modern themes and issues devoid of gender. Her figurative surrealism style of stick figures is warped and elongated, stretched out of proportion. Each figure tilts and twists at painful angles. They bring to mind the famous harrowing faces in Edward Munch's ‘The Scream’, or the difficult distorted ones from the portraits of Francis Bacon. But most of the faces Y Nhi paints are miniature ones devoid of details, deceptively random and simple brush strokes. There is a playfulness that reflects the outer images the painter projects of herself. Her style also allows her to convey complex textures, and emotions, in her images. Dinh Y Nhi is a graduate of Hanoi's School of Fine Arts. Her work has been exhibited in many shows in Vietnam. She is receiving much notice among the Vietnamese press and art patrons in the United States, Australia and Asian countries. With its powerful presence and great proportions, this surrealist oil on canvas painting will be a definite conversation piece in any home, whether placed above a sofa, console table or enfilade. Set inside a frame, the painting is titled in the lower section. 1967: Born in Hanoi, Vietnam 1989: Graduated from Hanoi Fine Art University Exhibitions: 2011: Group Exhibition Art Asia Miami, Florida, AiBo Fine Asia Art 2011: Portrait, Dinh Y Nhi & Le Thiet Cuong...

Shop Antique and Vintage Nude Paintings

Today, antique and vintage nude paintings are popular works of art to consider when decorating your home.

The nude as an artist’s subject gained prominence in ancient Greece, wherein male nudes were rendered equivalent to power and victory owing to the Greeks’ celebration of men in athletic events as well as in the worship of the gods who populate Greek mythology. Nude sculptures in Greece positioned men as warriors — strong, moral and fearless. The naked female figures featured in prehistoric art and the art of ancient civilizations, on the other hand, were symbols of fertility and procreation.

Italian painters of the 1400s looked to the magnificent nude sculptures of Greek and Roman art for inspiration. By the end of the century, drawing of undressed models was part of the common practice for these artists. When Christianity had spread through Europe, however, Christians condemned Renaissance nude paintings — most of which are considered famous nude paintings today — because they were erotic, exploring, in some cases, same-sex relationships as well as women’s sexual power. Censorship was the order of the day, except for religious-themed works, such as 1526’s iconic Adam and Eve, an oil painting made by German Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder, one of more than 50 works made in his workshop based on the biblical story. Tuscan painter Daniele da Volterra was famously hired to paint fig leaves over the most exposed figures of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. While freedom of expression for artists has expanded significantly since then, prudish censorship persists when it comes to Renaissance nudity.

On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of authentic antique and vintage nude paintings, from works focused on the reliably reclining figures of Impressionist-style art to oil paintings created by contemporary artists who often work to reject the idealized human forms and unrealistic depictions of female nudes that preceded them. Additionally, find a primer on 1stDibs on how to arrange wall art as well as tips on creating salon-style gallery walls for presenting the wonderfully provocative nude paintings you’ve decided to bring into your home.
