Για τον πίνακα
John Currin's Nude on a Table, painted in 2001, is in the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago. Its composition directly borrows from Annibale Carracci's Dead Christ of about 1584. Currin's female nudes draw on several historical manners, from Rococo frills and peach-coloured skin to the stretched bodies of Northern Renaissance and early Mannerist painting. Faces and hairstyles, however, come from contemporary advertisements and magazines. These combinations allow his pictures to pay tribute to older paintings while parodying them, mixing art-historical models with the imagery of commercial print.
Με τα λόγια του μουσείου
In his depictions of the female nude, John Currin mines a number of distinct pictorial styles from art history; his figures have exhibited the frilly ruffles and peachy skin tones of French Rococo paintings, as well as the distended anatomies and distorted proportions of Northern Renaissance and early Mannerist works. The faces, makeup, and hairstyles of Currin’s women, however, are always borrowed from contemporary magazines and advertisements. Ultimately, the artist’s fusion of high and low source materials produces distinctly beautiful, often disturbing, works that are equal parts homage and parody. This painting is a direct quotation of Annibale Carracci’s Dead Christ (c. 1584; Staatsgalerie Stuttgart).
