Charming woman nude pencil study by Russian-French painter Alexandre Pavlovitch Chemetoff (or Chemetov,) also known as Chem (1891 - 1981).

The blue color emphasizes the design and imbues the lascivious movement.

Artist Biography: Alexandre Pavlovitch Chemetoff (aka Chem) (1891 - 1981)
Chem was a tireless all-rounder, illustrator, graphic designer, typographer, art book designer, and painter.
The twists and turns of an adventurous life that embraces the dramas of the 20th century have created fertile ground for this abundance of talent.
Alexander Chemetoff was born in Russia in 1891, in Rostov-on-Don. He studied chemistry in St. Petersburg. In 1917 he was mobilized, and The Bolshevik revolution turmoil caught him.
The civil war prevailed in its whirlwind, and with the remnants of the white army, he left Sevastopol and arrived in Tunisia, where to survive, he used his artistic gifts for drawing.
When he arrived in Paris, he experienced a difficult period, requiring him to work in all areas, from advertising to caricature in the press of Russian exiles, through the illustrations for the albums of Father Castor. During the war, refusing to make a deal with the occupier, he moved to Châteauroux. He will participate in the Resistance, putting his graphic virtuosity to make false papers.
At the Liberation, back in Paris, he is a model maker, creator of beautiful books, and works for movie sets. With no doubt of nostalgia for Russia, he gets closer to communist artists and works on an exhibition on Mayakovsky mounted by Elsa Triolet. Installed in Ardeche (south of France) at the end of his life, he can finally devote himself to painting and a series of surrealist collages, which, according to his son, "exceed in quality, in precision, in invention and humor those of Max Ernst." He died in 1981.
