The Blue Room
Suzanne Valadon · 1923
painting
Suzanne Valadon painted The Blue Room in 1923. The woman is clothed and smoking a cigarette. In this room, her presence invites a comparison between the reclining nude and a figure resting in her own clothes.
Details
Begin with the cigarette, then follow the clothing around the body. Compare this figure with the nudes elsewhere in the room. Consider how clothing alters your attention to the pose and your sense of access to the person.
