Bathing Girls 1897 - 1899

Edvard Munch's "Bathing Girls" (1897-1899) depicts four nude figures in a vibrant, swirling blue water. The figures are partially submerged, their forms blurred and almost ethereal. The painting utilizes long, sweeping brushstrokes, characteristic of Munch's Expressionist style. The painting evokes a sense of unease and mystery, reflecting the themes of isolation and anxiety that are prevalent in Munch's oeuvre. The use of blue and white colors adds to the sense of depth and fluidity of the water, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
