EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Maurice Denis' masterpiece, "Polyphemos" created in 1907. Housed in the esteemed State A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, this artwork exemplifies the essence of the early 20th-century artistic movement. Denis, a prominent French artist associated with Les Nabis and post-impressionism, skillfully depicts a scene inspired by Greek mythology. In this painting, we witness a group of men and women frolicking on a picturesque beach along the coast. The figures are captured in various states of relaxation and playfulness amidst the stunning landscape. The composition is imbued with symbolism and impressionistic techniques that were characteristic of Denis' style. The vibrant colors and loose brushstrokes convey an atmosphere of joyousness as people engage in sunbathing, swimming, and jumping off rocks into the sea. Notably, Denis challenges societal norms by portraying both male and female figures enjoying their time at the beach without any inhibitions or clothing. This bold choice adds depth to his exploration of human nature within natural surroundings. Through "Polyphemos". Maurice Denis invites viewers to embrace freedom from conventions while immersing themselves in nature's beauty. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to his mastery as an artist and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
