Bathers 1918

"Bathers" is a painting by Pablo Picasso from 1918, depicting three women on a beach. The painting is notable for its distinct Cubist style, where the figures are fragmented and flattened, and the space is ambiguous. The women are rendered in a simplified, almost abstract form, with their bodies and features broken down into geometric shapes. The background is a vibrant green, with a distant lighthouse and sailboat adding a sense of depth. The painting showcases Picasso's exploration of form and color during this period, and its characteristically Cubist style remains a pivotal example of his groundbreaking contributions to early 20th-century art.
