Pablo Picasso “Swimming on the Beach” (La Baignade à la Plage) at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice
Painting - Oil, Pencil and Chalk on Canvas (129,1 x 194 cm) February 12, 1937
Pablo Picasso, Swimming on the Beach Although painted in the period of “Guernica”, during the Spanish Civil War that marked Pablo Picasso so much, “Swimming on the Beach” is an alternative to violence, a peaceful day at the beach.
Two young girls play with a small boat while a bather observes them.
Some saw it as a form of voyeurism on this man watching out for these naked and sexually attractive young girls.
A painting reminiscent of Diana's myth in the bath.
The style here is deliberately simple with embossed characters, ossified.
The characters combine spikes and curves full of softness.
