I thought it was Diana, because of the helmet and arrow, so I completely missed out on Venus. I actually looked for 'nude with mirror' and similarly failed to get it.Originally Posted by Olga4real

Our mystery artist is a rather well-known American artist.

I have checked out Warhol and Lichtenstein, as well as Contemporary American Artists, to no avail. Even early Jackson Pollock doesn't get it. I don't believe Edward Hopper could have done it. The painting has overtones of Matisse but that's probably incidental.

I am lucky I found it!
It's 'Reclining Nude' and the artist name is Romare Bearden.
I thought it was an African-American artist.
I am not familiar with American fine arts thank you stlukesguild I am learning a lot!

Ilya Repin, They didn't expect. It took for a while to find the English title because the original is 'Ne zhdali' and every Russian schoolboy and girl is familiar with this painting.
Repin is one of my favorites, thank you!
Now I would like to ask you, Brian, to post something instead of me.

Of course, I knew you would get Repin's picture, it is so famous. So here is something equally as famous but very different.

Ok, but this is again by Matisse. I actually knew the other was too, without looking at the sig, but this time you also named it after Matisse (you should always change the title to something that doesnt give hints)
It is Large Reclining Nude by Matisse anyway.
Paul Klee 1930 'The Kettledrum Organ', Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin Ohio
Klee is one of my three or 4 favorite Modernists... probably the first Modern artist whose work I came to love... and this particular painting was virtually in my back yard (I grew up just minutes away from Oberlin).
