Foreshortened female nude, Ramon Casas i Carbó
Ramon Casas nudes are works where the painter look and realization falls almost exclusively on the nude figure, looking for in the positioning of the model complex positions that create quite original points of view. Figure doesn’t belong to an argument nor to a story, it is a simply beauty exaltation. Bodies take up all the space and the painter gaze it is never a frontal view, but it is solved, using photographic language terminology, from a lower or upper point of view.
