September Morn [SEP] creator
September Morn
Matinée de Septembre (English: September Morn) is a controversial oil painting on canvas completed in 1911 by the French artist Paul Émile Chabas. Painted over several summers, it depicts a nude girl or young woman standing in the shallow water of a lake, prominently lit by the morning sun. She is leaning slightly forward in an ambiguous posture, which has been read variously as a straightforward portrayal of protecting her modesty, huddling against the cold, or sponge bathing. It has also been considered a disingenuous pose
that, unlike Nabokov's prior four plays, which were influenced by Alexander Pushkin, the style and atmosphere of "Morn" "unmistakably aims at Shakespeare." In the tragedy, Siggy Frank, author of "Nabokov's Theatrical Imagination", suggests that the king's role as ruler of a kingdom is a symbol of the poet's role as an artistic creator.
