Notes: Nu au Soleil represents a novel approach to painting for its time—though not entirely in the vein of Surrealism—that carried with it the same artistic intelligence, sensitivity and lucidity displayed throughout the artist’s Neo-Impressionist phase, Proto-Cubist works, Cubist period and successive Post-Cubist constructions.
