Jean Marie Planque / Large Study Of Nude Around 1950

Artist: Jean-Marie Planque (1932-1992) - Title: Nude study, circa 1955 - Technique: Charcoal on paper - Dimensions: 63.5 x 47 cm - Artist's stamp on the back - Condition: good condition, small, but not serious defects Here is a large nude study made in charcoal on paper by the Belgian artist Jean-Marie Planque (1932-1992), circa 1955. Remarkably measuring 63.5 cm by 47 cm, this work is distinguished by the purity of its line and the precision of its gaze. The model, lying in a pose that is both natural and full of grace, is sketched with an economy of means that reveals all the artist's mastery: a few supple lines, alternately nervous or caressing, are enough to suggest the sensuality of the forms, the softness of the curves and the delicacy of the captured moment. The light seems to be born from the paper itself, revealing the presence of the body through the simple play of shadows and the thick and thin strokes of the charcoal. The whole gives off an impression of spontaneity and elegance, where the expressive force of the gesture dialogues with the subtlety of the observation. The presence of the artist's stamp on the back authenticates this high-quality drawing, a testament to Jean-Marie Planque's sensitive and demanding view of the female nude. Biography of the artist: Jean-Marie Planque was born in Tournai, Belgium, in 1932.
