Original Description
Nu Allongé by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen exudes sensual mystery through its Art Nouveau elegance. Created around 1900 during Paris's Belle Époque, the lithograph showcases Steinlen's mastery of fluid lines and erotic symbolism that defined fin-de-siècle poster art. The reclining female nude, rendered with exquisite contour lines, emerges from warm ochre tones like a dream - her elongated limbs and suggestive pose echoing both Japanese ukiyo-e influences and Toulouse-Lautrec's bohemian aesthetic. As a leading figure in Montmartre's avant-garde circle, Steinlen elevated commercial lithography to fine art status; this piece perfectly embodies his transition from political satire to intimate feminine studies. The work occupies a pivotal position in graphic art history, bridging 19th-century academic traditions with emerging modernist sensibilities through its bold simplification of form and daring subject matter.
For contemporary interiors, Nu Allongé makes a sophisticated statement framed in slender black walnut (minimum 24x36 inches) against blush or sage walls. Its terracotta undertones harmonize beautifully with leather Chesterfields or mid-century teak furniture, while the linear quality complements geometric rugs. Ideal for a study or bedroom alcove, position it as a focal point with directional LED picture lights casting subtle shadows to enhance dimensionality. In minimalist offices, the artwork's organic curves soften industrial spaces when paired with matte brass accents and potted fiddle-leaf figs. Consider grouping with other Steinlen prints or contemporaneous Mucha works for a curated gallery wall effect, ensuring 3-4 inches between pieces for visual breathing room. The muted palette recommends it for spaces featuring blush pink velvet throws or terrazzo side tables, creating a cohesive luxury-bohemian aesthetic.
