Nu Assise, also known as Seated Nude, is a notable painting by the French artist André Derain, a leading figure in the Fauvist movement. Created around 1906, this work exemplifies Derain's bold use of color and his departure from traditional representational art. Derain, who was born in 1880 and initially trained as an engineer, turned to painting in his early twenties and quickly became associated with avant-garde circles in Paris. Alongside Henri Matisse, Derain co-founded Fauvism, a style characterized by its radical use of vibrant, non-naturalistic colors and simplified forms.

Nu Assise captures a seated female nude in a contemplative pose, rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes. The painting's palette is dominated by vivid hues of red, blue, and green, which are applied in a manner that emphasizes the flatness of the canvas rather than creating an illusion of depth. This approach reflects the Fauvist interest in the emotional and expressive potential of color, as well as their rejection of the naturalistic conventions that had dominated European art since the Renaissance.

The composition of Nu Assise is both dynamic and harmonious, with the figure's pose and the surrounding environment creating a sense of balance and rhythm. Derain's treatment of the nude form is both sensual and abstract, highlighting his interest in the human body as a subject for artistic exploration. The painting also reveals the influence of non-Western art, particularly African sculpture, which Derain and his contemporaries admired for its perceived authenticity and emotional power.

Nu Assise is considered a significant work within Derain's oeuvre and the broader context of early 20th-century modernism. It exemplifies the innovative spirit of the Fauvist movement and Derain's contribution to the development of modern art. Today, Nu Assise is held in high regard by art historians and continues to be studied for its bold aesthetic and its role in the evolution of modernist painting.
