Seated Nude is a notable sculpture by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, a pioneering French artist associated with the early 20th-century avant-garde movement. Born in 1891 in Saint-Jean-de-Braye, France, Gaudier-Brzeska's brief but impactful career was marked by his innovative approach to sculpture, drawing influence from Cubism and Primitivism, as well as the energy and dynamism of the burgeoning Vorticist movement in Britain, where he spent much of his professional life.

Created in 1914, Seated Nude exemplifies Gaudier-Brzeska's fascination with capturing the essence and vitality of his subjects through simplified forms and an economy of line. The sculpture is characterized by its abstracted representation of the human figure, where traditional anatomical details are eschewed in favor of geometric shapes and planes that suggest rather than delineate the form of a seated woman. This reduction of form to its most elemental shapes was radical at the time and reflected the artist's interest in non-Western art forms, which he believed possessed a directness and vitality that European art had lost.

Seated Nude is crafted from marble, a material that Gaudier-Brzeska approached with both reverence and innovation. His technique involved direct carving, a method that was somewhat revolutionary among his contemporaries, who often relied on models or maquettes. By working directly on the stone, Gaudier-Brzeska imbued the sculpture with a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, allowing the material's natural qualities to guide his creative process.

The sculpture not only showcases Gaudier-Brzeska's mastery of form and material but also serves as a testament to the artist's avant-garde spirit. Seated Nude stands as a significant work within the context of early 20th-century modernist sculpture, reflecting the era's shifting attitudes towards representation, abstraction, and the essence of artistic expression.

Tragically, Gaudier-Brzeska's promising career was cut short by his death in 1915 during World War I, making works like Seated Nude precious remnants of an artistic vision that was abruptly halted. Today, Seated Nude is celebrated for its innovative approach and remains an important piece in the study of modern sculpture, offering insight into the evolution of abstraction and the search for new modes of expression in the early 20th century.
