Original Description
Nu Debout by Chas-Laborde is a captivating Art Deco-era illustration that exudes both sophistication and playful elegance. Created by French artist Charles Laborde (1886-1941), this standing nude study embodies the streamlined aesthetic of 1920s-30s modernism with its fluid lines, subtle eroticism, and masterful economy of detail. The composition balances delicate pencil-like strokes with bold areas of flat color, showcasing Laborde's background as both illustrator and printmaker. Particularly significant as part of the interwar period's artistic liberation, it represents the transition from Beaux-Arts traditions to more graphic, commercially-influenced styles. Works like this adorned fashionable Parisian publications and private collections, bridging fine art and decorative arts – a hallmark of Art Deco's enduring appeal. Today, Nu Debout is prized by collectors for its quintessential Jazz Age vibrancy and historical importance within early 20th-century illustrated works.
For interior placement, Nu Debout's subtle tonal palette (typically soft creams, grays and blush accents) makes it remarkably versatile for contemporary spaces. In minimalist offices, a medium-sized framed print (approximately 60×40cm) creates an artistic focal point above mid-century modern credenzas or against charcoal walls - the neutral background allowing its linear elegance to shine. Residential settings benefit from its intimate scale in dressing rooms or bedrooms, where the artwork's sensual yet refined quality complements velvet upholstery or polished nickel fixtures. Consider pairing with other Art Deco-inspired elements like geometric rugs or spherical lighting fixtures to enhance period authenticity. For striking contrast in modern interiors, position adjacent to bold-colored accent walls (deep emerald or midnight blue work particularly well), ensuring proper gallery lighting to emphasize the artwork's delicate linework. Its vertical format suits narrow wall spaces between floor-to-ceiling windows or alongside streamlined bookshelves.
