Alice Pike Barney's 1911 pastel, "Nude against Screen", presents a nude female figure against a decorative floral backdrop. This elegant work offers a touch of bohemian sophistication to any room.

Alice Pike Barney's "Nude against Screen", created in 1911, is a captivating pastel that exemplifies the artist's interest in the female form and decorative arts. Barney, an American artist who spent considerable time in Paris, absorbed influences from both the American and European art scenes. This work showcases a nude female figure posed against a shimmering, gold-toned screen adorned with floral motifs. The model's relaxed posture and contemplative gaze evoke a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The floral screen provides a rich backdrop, its intricate patterns and vibrant colours contrasting with the model's pale skin. The pastel medium lends itself beautifully to the soft, diffused light and delicate textures of the composition. As a fine art print, "Nude against Screen" brings a touch of bohemian elegance and artistic sophistication to any interior. Its subtle colour palette and graceful composition make it a versatile piece that complements a range of decor styles, from classic to contemporary. It is particularly well-suited for spaces where a sense of calm and beauty is desired, such as bedrooms, living rooms, or studies.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Alice Pike Barney

Alice Pike Barney wasn't just a painter; she was a true bohemian spirit who scandalised Washington D.C. society with her unconventional lifestyle and artistic pursuits. This socialite-turned-artist defied expectations, embracing a life of travel, spiritual exploration, and artistic experimentation that set her apart from her peers. She was a fascinating figure who lived as boldly as she painted. Barney's artistic journey led her through various styles, from Impressionism to Symbolism, but her portraits are particularly captivating. She captured the essence of her subjects with a delicate touch and a keen eye for detail, often imbuing them with a sense of mystery and introspection. Her work reflects her deep interest in Eastern philosophy and the occult, adding layers of meaning to her already evocative compositions. Key works include portraits of Oscar Wilde and Natalie Clifford Barney. Today, Alice Pike Barney's art continues to resonate with those who appreciate beauty, intellect, and a touch of the unconventional. Her paintings offer a glimpse into a fascinating life and a unique artistic vision, making them a compelling addition to any collection. Displaying her work is a testament to a love of both fine art and independent spirit.
