Robert Roujas
Lying Nude Study Oil Painting by Robert Roujas

mid 20th Century

About the Item

This charming oil painting on marouflé canvas was designed by Robert Roujas (1908-2000). This romantic composition presents a study of a reclining nude seen from behind in a weary position. The background color contrast brings out the model's pale skin and wavy brown hair. The artwork is signed "R. Roujas" in the bottom right corner. Newly reframed in an elegantly carved white cerused wood frame with Montparnasse flair. Measurements: With frame: 27.16 in wide (69 cm) x 23.62 in high (60 cm). Opening view: 21.26 in wide (54 cm) x 17.72 in (45 cm). Note: Robert Roujas was born on January 6, 1908. Entering the French Administration in 1927, this civil servant graduated from the Ecole du Louvre, which speaks volumes about the background of general and human culture he had already accumulated. He was an informed music lover and a talented painter and had the privilege of working with Yves Brayer. Having made a career in the services of the French Post, Robert Roujas, in addition to his professional and cultural activities, also demonstrates undeniable sporting qualities. Passionate about rugby, thanks to his Ariège origins, he practiced this sport at a high level until later becoming an international referee. His courage and civility were not the least of his qualities. During the Second World War, he is demobilized after the Battle of Dunkirk. He will be arrested and imprisoned by the militia. Succeeding in escaping, he manages to reach Algeria and participates in the Italian campaign, where he is injured. He ended the war as a commander. After a rich life spent in Nimes, South of France, Robert Roujas passed away on January 11, 2000.
