Mario Strati - Nude Woman

The figure of women has been depicted and studied by artists throughout the centuries. From this perspective, the nude was reserved exclusively for figures with a mythical or religious background. In the new 19th-century movements, particularly marked by Manet, women were no longer saints or goddesses, but ordinary women who revealed themselves in their nakedness. This reversal of the genre would lead, over the course of the century and the following, to a deeper exploration of the human figure, especially the female figure, investigating the representation of the body and its psyche. It is noteworthy how the painter revisited the theme in his works with the appropriate empathy for a figuration that goes beyond the image to convey something connected to the deepest aspects of psychology. Stylistically, the woman's figure has strong features, with very large eyes against a dark, abstract background. The woman has surrealist and cubist traits due to the distorted proportions the artist depicts. The volumes are nuanced and shadowed, along with a moderate light that clearly defines the woman's figure. Her face almost resembles a mannequin, a popular object among surrealist painters due to its flexibility, appearing vulnerable and detached.  Regarding the artist Mario Strati, we had the opportunity to explore other works that demonstrate the artist's desire to explore specific subjects with a suggestive and surrealist feel through pictorial detail. His works have an unrealistic quality that verges on figurative, with sinuous lines and a sense of design and well-constructed proportions.
