Catherine Bres-Rhocanges
Nude Women Bathers Pastel Painting by Catherine Bres-Rhocanges

Late 20th Century

About the Item

This pastel painting by Catherine Bres-Rhocanges (1947 -) is titled "Group of Bathers" and signed in the bottom right corner Bres-Rhocanges. Catherine Bres-Rhocanges paints women with generous forms and fine ties. The bodies have a cubist feel about them, appearing large and solid. The palette, with warm and bright colors (red, yellow saffron, turquoise green, and cerulean blue), highlights the flesh and feminine curves. This painting boasts a modern wood frame with acrylic glass protection, and an off-white matte adds an elegant touch. Measurements: With frame: 23.63 in wide (60 cm) x 26.88 in high (68 cm). Opening view: 11 in wide (28 cm) x 14.19 in (36 cm). Note: Catherine Bres-Rhocanges (1947 -) The characters encamped in natural settings or cozy interiors tell a story whose humor is not absent. The anonymous faces invite the observer to immerse themselves in the painting's intimacy while allowing their imagination to go wild. Catherine Bres-Rhocanges first worked on drawing and her installation in space, remodeling her sketches to satisfaction. The color intervenes only after. Her paintings are well composed, often structured around an axis (column, curtain, tree). Blossoming and languorous, the women of Catherine Bres-Rhocanges are an invitation to the sweetness of life, the voluptuousness.
