Catalogue Note
Il clima classicista degli anni Venti influenza in modo evidente la ricerca e gli studi sul nudo di De Pisis, che lo tratta tenendo ben presenti i canoni rinascimentali di armonia anatomica tipici dei modelli antichi. Il risultato è un disegno preciso e plastico illuminato a volte da colpi di biacca che evidenziano la volumetria dei corpi.
A partire dagli anni Trenta, pur mantenendo quest'impronta, il tratto si arricchisce di un alone quasi espressionista e la composizione si fa più vibrante e sciolta, più spezzata e nervosa. (...) Il suo mondo è uno scenario dionisiaco entro cui i sensi sono sempre pronti ad accendersi e scatenarsi in danza".
Toti Scialoja, cit. in "Il Selvaggio", giugno 1943
