“Les Baigneuses (The Bathers)” is an artwork created by David Park in 1959. The piece belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement and falls within the genre of nude paintings (nu).
The artwork features a dynamic composition of nude figures, rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vigorous palette. Various earthy tones are juxtaposed throughout the painting, with prominent shades of red, brown, and green set against lighter hues that highlight the figures. The brushwork communicates a sense of immediacy and raw emotion, characteristic of the Neo-Expressionism movement. The figures appear absorbed in their private world, their forms abstract yet powerfully present, conveying a deeply human intimacy within an almost primal natural setting.
