books0977:The Academy (1934). Wojciech Weiss (Polish, 1875-1950). Oil on canvas. The second trend in Weiss’s interwar work was nude paintings. These nudes were treated as still-lifes, images of mindless creatures and faceless bodies whose beauty the artist admires. A certain dichotomy began to appear in Weiss’s art – on the one hand, close contact with nature made him openly pantheistic, but he also had a tendency to seclude himself in his studio to paint nudes and still lifes. -- source link
