Cut-outs were his preferred technique at the time, while the solid blue (which represented distance and volume) was a remnant of the artist's bold Fauvist palette and his experimentations with line and color. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure depicted on the triptych is said to have been inspired by MATISSE’s collection of African sculptures, as well as his travels to Tahiti. The poses of each of the “Blue Nudes” have been intricately constructed, sometimes over periods of multiple weeks, to achieve their voluminous and sculptural quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© 2024 Succession H.
