专家说明

Painted in France in 1901, The Blue Bowl is Frieseke's first finished painting of a nude. Of the work, he wrote, "I have a model mornings now. A blonde girl with rather reddish hair. Am trying to paint a nude--the first thing I have ever tried like that..." Frieseke returned home to Owosso, Michigan the next year and took "much pleasure in shocking the good Church people with the nudes." (as quoted in N. Kilmer, Frederick Carl Frieseke: The Evolution of an American Impressionist, Savannah, Georgia, 2001, p. 21).

This painting will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Frieseke's work being compiled by Nicholas Kilmer, the artist's grandson, and sponsored by Hollis Taggart Galleries, New York.
