Bathers 1920

Max Pechstein's "Bathers" from 1920 showcases his signature style of Expressionism, with bold lines and vivid colors. The artwork depicts three figures – a man, a woman, and a child – against a backdrop of stylized waves. Pechstein's use of color is striking, with the blue background and the figures' flesh tones creating a dynamic contrast. The sketchy lines give the figures a sense of movement and energy, capturing a fleeting moment at the beach. This piece is a quintessential example of Pechstein's artistic approach, which combined elements of German Expressionism with his own individual style.
