Art Deco Gravure Woman Laszlo Barta Erotic Nude Etching Bust. Laszlo Barta is a painter of Hungarian origin who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest from 1926 to 1933. He traveled to Paris in the 1920s. In Montmartre and Montparnasse, he joined Fauvist painters such as Matisse, Dufy, and Gleizes, among others, with whom he formed friendships.

His style evolved from Fauvist Expressionism to Cubism, and at the end of his short life, he embraced Abstraction. He even studied mosaics in Ravenna. He showed bravery and resistance in Corsica during World War II. After marrying a woman from Toulon, they settled in Saint Tropez, where this large painting was created. Their home became an important meeting place for artists.

The New York gallery of Julien LEVY regularly exhibited the works of this artist alongside those of Braque, Picasso, and others.
