The Bathers - Paul Gauguin
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
The Bathers, a post-impressionist work by Paul Gauguin, stands out for its bold approach to the female nude. A cross between landscape and genre scene, this painting evokes the lost paradise of Polynesia with a rare sincerity. The nude bodies, with their organic lines, seem to melt into the luxuriant vegetation, in an explosion of colour that harks back to synthetism, the movement that Gauguin greatly influenced.
The painting offers an interesting contrast between the tranquillity of the scene and the dynamism of the colours and shapes. The bathers are depicted in a serene, almost melancholy pose, accentuating the mystical aura of the painting. The presence of water, a vital and symbolic element, reinforces this impression of communion with nature. In this painting, Gauguin offers a personal, almost idealised vision of Polynesian life.
