Modernist Nudes in a Studio Interior by Italo Carcin

This is an original oil or acrylic painting on canvas or board by the artist Italo Carcin, dated 1975. The composition features two figurative female nudes in a studio setting, rendered in a distinctive modernist style that emphasizes blocky color fields and expressive, thick brushwork. The palette is dominated by muted pastel pinks of the flesh tones, contrasted against deep blues, oranges, and earthy yellows in the background, suggesting an indoor environment with studio props or drapery. To the right of the seated figure, a classical-style vase or sculptural object is visible, providing contextual depth to the scene. The figures are abstracted, with simplified facial features and elongated limbs characteristic of mid-20th-century European modernism. A prominent signature and date, 'Italo Carcin, 75', are located in the lower center-right of the composition. The work is housed in a simple, dark-stained wooden tray frame which appears to be contemporary with the piece. The physical condition shows mild age-related surface grime and light surface wear consistent with its 1970s origin. The paint application appears stable with no immediate signs of flaking or significant craquelure, suggesting a well-maintained piece. The craftsmanship reflects a confident hand familiar with the post-impressionist and fauvist traditions of color layering and non-realistic space representation.
