Nudes


             
Olive Bagshaw began to paint nude figures around 1968. There is a composition dated 1975, so it is probable that the following nudes were painted between 1968-1977. She used a small number of models and experimented with various compositions.

A composition including a nude figure which is only a part of an overall interior is interesting and is followed by two paintings with substantial emphasis on the interior composition, but in which the nude figure takes a more significant role and focus.

In her later paintings of nude figures Olive took a careful account of the choice of background fabrics . Furniture fabrics were also painted with care.
