O banho turco 1971

"O banho turco" (Turkish Bath) is a 1971 abstract painting by Julio Pomar. The piece features a vibrant blue background, representing the sky, against which various geometric shapes and figures are scattered, suggesting bodies and architecture of a Turkish bath. The use of bold colors and simple forms creates a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Pomar's style. Pomar was a prominent Portuguese artist whose work often explored themes of social and political commentary. This artwork is an excellent example of his exploration of abstraction and color.
