Modernist Nude & Striped Beach Cabana Oil Painting, Italy, 1950's

This Italian oil painting depicts a female nude in the foreground of a seaside scene, with a second figure standing before a red and blue striped beach cabana. Simplified forms and broad passages of peach, turquoise and sandy yellow give the composition a playful modernist character. Dating to circa 1950–1960, the painting is finished with a slim ridged frame that leaves its lively color and graphic composition in focus.
