Yellow Nude

Kees van Willigen · 1915–1990

Date

1979

Medium

Oil painting

Size

25 x 38 cm

The painting combines a lemon yellow with an old pink. Only a woman’s torso is painted, without face or legs: attention is drawn to the movement of the torso rather than to a character, the subject serving as a pretext for work on gesture and colour.

A yellow veil stands out against an old pink background.
