Reclining Nude

'Reclining Female Nude,' by Frederick Lloveras Herrera, Oil on Canvas Painting

In this framed oil painting by Frederick Herrera, a reclining female nude in a stretching pose is featured. The face is not detailed and there is white drapery over the mid-section of the figure. The background is neutral and the nude form emerges as the central focus.

Frederick L. Herrera (1912-1983) was a Spanish painter, illustrator and watercolorist. He is considered one of the best representatives of postwar Catalan watercolor and is related stylistically to the Expressionist movement. He studied at the Circle Artistic de Sant Llc and at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts. He participated in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts in 1942, 1944 and 1948. In 1971 he had an individual exhibition at Sala Gaspar. He was a friend of Griera, Josep Cruanans, Josep Granyer and Emili Grau Sala, among other contemporary painters.
