From the collection of Musée d'art moderne de Paris
Back View of Venus is a 1925 oil by Jules Pascin, held at Musée d'art moderne de Paris.
This painting depicts a nude woman from behind, with her back to the viewer. Her body is rendered in soft, gentle curves, and her hair is styled in a bob. The woman's skin is painted in a warm, golden light, and her buttocks are the focal point of the composition. The background of the painting is a muted, earthy tone, which serves to emphasize the woman's figure. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's curves. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
