About the Item

Henry Caro-Delvaille (1876-1928) "Female Nude" Oil on canvas in frame signed lower right. Daniel Auguste Benjamin Delvaille a.k.a. Henry Caro-Delvaille was born in Bayonne on July 6, 1876, at 35 rue d'Espagne, the son of Fernand Delvaille, a banker and stockbroker, and Caroline Rueff. The diminutive of his mother's name will forge his stage name. After a brief military career in the 6th Hussars, interrupted by an accident, he entered the drawing class of the Bayonne School of Fine Arts in 1895. A year later, thanks to a grant from the city, he joined the community of Basque painters in Paris in the studio of Léon Bonnat, then in that of Albert Maignan. Close to Maurice Denis, influenced by Puvis de Chavanne, from 1901, he knew success through his worldly portraits and intimate genre scenes. Handsome man, handsome dark-haired, of Iberian descent, seductive, excellent dancer in addition, could not help but be appreciated. He joined the circle of Americans in Paris, dated ballerina Isadora Duncan, patron Winnaritta Singer, and Princess Edmond de Polignac. The acquisition of a private mansion on rue de Rémusat solidified his reputation among his clientele. He became a member of the Société nationale des beaux-arts in 1903 and its secretary in 1904. In 1905 he won the grand gold medal at the Munich International Exhibition. That same year his friend Edmond Rostand entrusted him with the decoration of his villa in Cambo, Villa Arnaga des Rostand, a grand residence in the Neo-Basque style. He then became known as a portrait painter and received numerous orders. He was made a knight of the Legion of Honor in 1910. His painting can be compared to that of Carolus Duran (1837-1917), a famous painter of the belle époque. Henri Caro-Delvaille emigrated to the United States in 1913 and settled in New York, moving toward a more Art Deco style. He was a central figure in artistic, literary and musical circles on both sides of the Atlantic, from Paris to New York. He died in Sceaux in 1928. Fascinated by female beauty, Delvaille distinguished himself through his portraits and paintings of women. His nudes are always portraits from the back, in an intimate atmosphere, refined and sensual, enveloped in soft light.

Attended: San Francisco Art Association School of Design, Académie des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Académie Julian de Paris, New York School of Art "In the past I worked on light and shadow effects. Now I paint exclusively for unusual effects and color harmonies." It is with these words that Martin Borgord, a Norwegian-born but naturalized American painter, interviewed by a journalist from the Hartford Courant, explains our painting.Straddling the line between Impressionism and Expressionism, the elegant lady loses the sharpness of detail, blending with light and color in quick, dense brushstrokes.
