Consisting
of a series of twelve spectacular paintings created by Alberto Vargas,
The Legacy Nudes have had a profound influence on the artistic portrayal
of the feminine form. These treasured paintings were, in his own
words, “The best I can do.” The limited edition Legacy Nude Collection
represents twelve impeccable lithographs of these masterpieces.
Upon their completion in 1956, they were set aside,
not to be released in his lifetime, creating an intended legacy
for his beloved wife. Vargas’ achievements with light, shading,
and tone in the Legacy Nudes were unprecedented. These sensuous
and lifelike images have such a strong and dramatic impact that
their impression continues to delight you long after having viewed
the works.
The remarkable history behind these
paintings makes the Legacy Nude Collection one of the most significant
fine art portfolios to ever become available, and one that will
be an enduring source of pleasure sought by collectors throughout
the world.
