Blaue Badende 1912

"Blaue Badende" (Blue Bathers), created in 1912 by German Expressionist artist Otto Mueller, depicts two nude figures. The figures are simplified and stylized, with elongated limbs and a focus on the contours of the body. The dominant color blue is used for both the figures and the background, creating a sense of unity and tranquility. The painting's earthy tones and the use of charcoal and pastel give it a soft, dreamlike quality. This work exemplifies Mueller's exploration of the human figure in an expressive and symbolic manner.
