Certainly! Here’s the English translation, including the added paragraph on Vasarely:

In the painting La femme au divan et son bouquet by Speedy Graphito, there are several references to classical artists and art movements. Here are some key influences:

Henri Matisse: The floral and ornamental patterns, especially the red motifs, evoke Matisse’s style, particularly his works with decorative elements like La Danse or La Blouse Roumaine. Matisse is known for his vibrant palette and compositions that integrate exotic and floral motifs, often associated with feminine forms.

Fernand Léger: The use of geometric shapes, bright colors, and contrasts recalls Léger’s cubist and futurist approach. Speedy Graphito also employs a simplification of forms and volumes, reminiscent of Léger’s method of fragmenting elements.

Pablo Picasso and Cubism: The decomposition of the figure and juxtaposition of various patterns evoke cubist techniques, where traditional perspective is abandoned in favor of a fragmented representation. This approach, pioneered by Picasso and Braque, is reinterpreted here in a contemporary style by Speedy Graphito.

Pop Art and Roy Lichtenstein: Certain sections of the painting, with their graphic treatment and bright palette, are reminiscent of Pop Art, especially works by Roy Lichtenstein. The simplification of elements and emphasis on color contrast are common features of Pop Art, which are evident here, adding a modern and ironic take on art history.

Fauvism: Through its use of intense, contrasting colors, Speedy Graphito’s work also aligns with Fauvist artists who prioritized vibrant colors to express emotion. This influence can be seen in the use of bold, almost “loud” tones that bring the composition to life.

Art Deco Design: The geometric and ornamental patterns also recall Art Deco aesthetics, known for stylized motifs and bold colors. This stylistic element lends a retro modernity to the piece that connects past and present.

Victor Vasarely and Op Art: You can also see a strong influence from Victor Vasarely, with the geometric patterns and optical illusions in parts of the painting reminiscent of Vasarely’s Op Art. Known for creating dynamic visual effects through repetitive geometric patterns, Vasarely’s influence is reimagined here in a contemporary context. This Op Art element further enriches the piece, highlighting Speedy Graphito’s “neo-historical” approach that dialogues with various artistic movements.

By reinterpreting and merging these references, Speedy Graphito creates a resolutely contemporary work, paying homage to the great masters and art movements that have shaped art history. This painting thus becomes a conversation between past and present, blending classical influences with a modern perspective.
