Study of Flesh and Gold - William Merritt Chase Art Print

Description
You'll find yourself captivated by the enigmatic allure of Chase's Study of Flesh Color and Gold. This 1880s pastel gem showcases a model's bare back, her flesh tones exquisitely rendered against a backdrop of shimmering gold. Chase's vigorous pastel strokes rival oil paint in their richness, creating a velvety texture that seems to glow from within.
The composition, influenced by Japanese prints, tilts and crops daringly — placing you intimately close to the subject. Vibrant splashes of teal and coral dance across the golden background, while a lush green kimono drapes sensually around the figure.
This avant-garde piece merges Western and Eastern aesthetics, demonstrating Chase's mastery of pastel and his role in elevating the medium. As you gaze upon this provocative study of light, color, and form, you'll feel transported to a world where flesh and gold intertwine in sublime harmony.
