Study of Flesh Colour and Gold, 1888
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pastel on paper artwork by American artist William Merritt Chase. This mesmerizing piece, housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, showcases Chase's mastery in capturing the essence of flesh tones and the allure of gold. The composition focuses on a female figure seen from her back view. With an impressionistic touch, Chase skillfully depicts the half-length naked woman with delicate strokes that evoke a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The subtle play between light and shadow adds depth to her form, emphasizing her natural beauty. Chase's use of color is particularly striking in this artwork. The soft hues of flesh tones blend harmoniously with touches of gold accents throughout the composition. This combination creates an ethereal atmosphere that exudes elegance and sensuality. As one gazes at this painting, it becomes evident that Chase was not only portraying a nude figure but also exploring themes such as femininity, identity, and artistic expression. Through his brushwork and choice of subject matter, he invites viewers to contemplate beauty beyond societal conventions. This remarkable example of American Impressionism embodies both technical brilliance and emotional resonance. It serves as a testament to William Merritt Chase's talent as an artist who pushed boundaries while maintaining reverence for classical aesthetics.
