Cathelin, Bernard, Nude in the Red Chair, 1978

Prior to the 1990s, female representations in Bernard Cathelin’s work were often sketchy, suggesting rather than defining form. His delicate, evocative approach to both painting and lithography testifies to his artistic sensibility and commitment to the timeless beauty of nature and everyday life. Through his work, he captures the ephemeral youth of flowers and women, reflecting their essence with deep emotion and an intimate connection to the world around them.
