Art Appreciation
Surrealist Paul Delvaux is known for painting female nudes in architectural and landscape settings. Born near Huy, Belgium on September 23, 1897, Delvaux' experience of law and architecture and his love for literature can be observed in his paintings.
Many of his paintings can be creatively freighting, presenting pale nude females along with skeletons and aristocrats. Interestingly, a commonality in a lot of his paintings also include the moon and a bald old man with steel rimmed glasses observing.
You can see more of his work HERE.
