Original Description
The sensuous curves of Danseuse Étendue by Swiss artist Maurice Barraud (1889-1954) immediately captivate viewers with their Art Deco elegance. This 1920s masterpiece depicts a reclining dancer mid-pose, her elongated limbs and streamlined form epitomizing the Jazz Age’s fascination with movement and modernity. Barraud’s precise draftsmanship – honed during his training under Symbolist painter Ernest Biéler – merges with stylized geometric reductions typical of Art Deco, creating a striking balance between naturalism and abstraction. Historically significant, the work reflects Europe’s interwar artistic shift towards decorative sophistication, standing alongside contemporaries like Tamara de Lempicka while retaining Barraud’s distinctive Swiss graphic sensibility through crisp contours and subtle flesh-toned gradients.
For interior placement, this lithograph’s warm ivory and champagne palette invites pairing with walnut wood furnishings or brass accents. Its vertical composition (typically 50x65cm in prints) suits narrow walls in entryways or above console tables, where the dancer’s dynamic diagonal creates visual flow. In offices, position near angular furniture to accentuate the Art Deco contrast between curve and line – a glass-topped desk or geometric bookcase would harmonize beautifully. Choose matte ivory framing to preserve its vintage aesthetic, and illuminate with focused directional lighting to emphasize the figure’s sculptural quality. Smaller reproductions work wonderfully in powder rooms or dressing areas, subtly reinforcing spaces dedicated to movement and grace.
