Although later in … more Nude at the window overlooking sacré-coeur', oil on paper mounted on canvas, by louis latapie (circa 1930s). Although later in latapie's career he embraced cubism and abstraction, this piece is placed in his earlier expressionist and more figurative period. When combined with the artist's passionate brush strokes, the balanced composition creates a visual and textural artwork that is very alluring. The application of vibrant colour adds further richness to the piece. The artwork is in good overall condition with a new frame and french-style linen slip. It has recently been reconditioned by an art restoration professional. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
