Bather 1908

"Bather" is an oil painting created in 1908 by Pablo Picasso, a highly influential figure in the early 20th century art world. The piece depicts a nude female figure standing on a beach, her body rendered with fragmented planes, a hallmark of Picasso's early Cubist style. The painting's simplification of form and abstraction of the human figure mark a departure from traditional representational art, challenging the viewer's perception of reality. Picasso's "Bather" is a significant work that exemplifies the artistic revolution of the early 20th century.
