La Plage 1920

"La Plage" (1920) by André Lhote depicts two women reclining on a beach, one asleep and the other gazing thoughtfully. Lhote, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement, utilized geometric shapes and simplified forms to capture the scene. The striped blanket and the book held by the awake woman contribute to the Cubist aesthetic, showcasing Lhote's exploration of form and color. The painting evokes a sense of tranquility and intimacy, offering a glimpse into the artist's exploration of the female form and the beauty of everyday life.
