Original Description
Henri Laurens' Nu Renversé (Reclining Nude) is a captivating example of early 20th-century Cubist sculpture, where fluid organic forms meet geometric abstraction. Created during Laurens' mature period in the 1920s, the work embodies the artist’s signature synthesis of curvilinear volumes and simplified planes—translating Cubist painting principles into three-dimensional space with remarkable sensuality. The reclining female figure dissolves into harmonious curves that simultaneously suggest anatomical forms and abstracted landscapes, radiating both intimacy and monumentality. As a leading figure in the Parisian avant-garde and close associate of Braque, Laurens' sculptural innovations bridged Cubism’s intellectual rigor with a renewed focus on poetic volume, influencing later modern sculptors like Henry Moore. This bronze exists in multiple casts (originally created through the lost-wax process), securing its status as a key transitional work between analytical fragmentation and the organic abstraction that defined mid-century modernism.
For contemporary interiors, Nu Renversé offers versatile decorative potential. Its warm bronze patina pairs elegantly with neutral-toned spaces featuring oak furnishings or travertine surfaces, while the sculpture’s dynamic curves create striking contrast against rectilinear mid-century furniture or brutalist architecture. Ideal for placement on a console table in a study (preferably under directional lighting to accentuate its shadows) or as a focal point in a minimalist living room, a medium-sized cast (approx. 40-50cm wide) ensures presence without overwhelming. Consider echoing its earthy metallic tones through brass accents in lighting fixtures or gilded picture frames, or create bold juxtapositions with deep emerald green or oxblood red walls—a nod to Laurens’ Fauvist influences. In corporate settings, it lends creative sophistication to executive offices when displayed alongside postwar abstract art or Le Corbusier-inspired furnishings.
