Max Švabinský elevated the Art Nouveau nude to a symbolist expression admiring the beauty and mystery of life. The interweaving of the symbols of the skate, flowers and the woman with plump shapes together represent this starting point and express Švabinsky's fascination with the most natural manifestations of life, which he wrapped in neoclassical symbols. The mythical woman in his prints is the bearer of a story and is often a manifestation of eroticism and desire. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
